On Monday, January 29 at Tokyo, Japan, imposed administrative measures on virtual currency exchange Coincheck after hackers stole hundreds of millions of dollars in digital assets from the Tokyo-based firm in one of the biggest heists ever.

Statement was addressed to The Financial Services Agency (FSA) that it had ordered Coincheck to investigate the cause of the incident, "properly" deal with clients, strengthen risk management, and take preventive measures
