On December 9, Yahoo News reported that Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has updated its Q&A to explicitly state that offering domestic CFDs (Contracts for Difference) and other derivatives tied to overseas cryptocurrency ETFs is “not ideal.” The agency cited two key reasons: Japan has not yet approved cryptocurrency ETFs, and the investor protection environment remains inadequate. The FSA further noted these products are essentially linked to cryptocurrency spot prices, classifying them as cryptocurrency derivatives. They also lack sufficient risk disclosure and robust institutional frameworks. As a result, IG Securities has announced it will suspend CFD trading for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs (including IBIT). Regulatory signals indicate Japan is unlikely to open up to overseas ETF-linked cryptocurrency derivatives in the short term.

On December 9, Farside Investors data showed that U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs posted a net outflow of $60.4 million yesterday, while BlackRock’s IBIT recorded a net inflow of $28.8 million. Ethereum spot ETFs, meanwhile, saw a net inflow of $35.5 million yesterday, with ETHA registering a net inflow of $23.7 million. ### Notes on U.S. language habits adjustment: 1. **Conciseness**: Replaced "according to Farside Investors monitoring" with "Farside Investors data showed" (more natural for financial alerts). 2. **Common terminology**: Used "posted/recorded/registering" (standard for tracking fund flows in U.S. finance). 3. **Clarity**: Specified "U.S." (consistent with geographic context) and plural "ETFs" (reflects multiple underlying funds). 4. **Brand accuracy**: Corrected "Belld" to "BlackRock" (likely a typo—BlackRock’s IBIT is the most prominent U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF). 5. **Rhythm**: Split into two tight paragraphs (avoids run-on sentences, matches U.S. news alert struct
