A person that is actually engaged in virtual currency exchange services (meaning virtual currency exchange services prescribed in Article 2, paragraph (7) of the Payment Services Act as amended by the provisions of Article 11 (hereinafter referred to as the "New Payment Services Act" in this Article); the same applies hereinafter in this Article) at the time this Act comes into effect may engage in those virtual currency exchange services, notwithstanding Article 63-2 of the New Payment Services Act, for six months from the Effective Date (or, if within that period a disposition of refusal of registration is made under Article 63-5, paragraph (1) of the New Payment Services Act, or the person is ordered to discontinue all of its virtual currency exchange services under Article 63-17, paragraph (1) of the New Payment Services Act as applied with replacement of terms pursuant to the following paragraph, until the date of that disposition or the date on which the person was ordered to discontinue). If that person has applied for registration under that Article within that period, and that period has elapsed, the same applies until a disposition of registration or refusal of registration is made on the application.

**第二項**  前項の規定により仮想通貨交換業を行うことができる場合においては、その者を仮想通貨交換業者（新資金決済法第二条第八項に規定する仮想通貨交換業者をいう。）とみなして、新資金決済法の規定を適用する。この場合において、新資金決済法第六十三条の十七第一項中「第六十三条の二の登録を取り消し」とあるのは、「仮想通貨交換業の全部の廃止を命じ」とするほか、必要な技術的読替えは、政令で定める。

In the case where a person may engage in virtual currency exchange services pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the provisions of the New Payment Services Act apply to that person, deeming the person to be a virtual currency exchange service provider (meaning a virtual currency exchange service provider prescribed in Article 2, paragraph (8) of the New Payment Services Act). In this case, the phrase "revoke its registration referred to in Article 63-2" in Article 63-17, paragraph (1) of the New Payment Services Act is deemed to be replaced with "order the discontinuation of all of its virtual currency exchange services", and beyond that, any necessary technical replacement of terms is specified by Cabinet Order.

**第三項**  前項の規定により読み替えて適用される新資金決済法第六十三条の十七第一項の規定により仮想通貨交換業の全部の廃止を命じられた場合における新資金決済法の規定の適用については、当該廃止を命じられた者を同項の規定により新資金決済法第六十三条の二の登録を取り消された者と、当該廃止を命じられた日を同項の規定による同条の登録の取消しの日とみなす。

In the case where a person is ordered to discontinue all of its virtual currency exchange services under Article 63-17, paragraph (1) of the New Payment Services Act as applied with replacement of terms pursuant to the preceding paragraph, for the purpose of applying the provisions of the New Payment Services Act, the person so ordered is deemed to be a person whose registration under Article 63-2 of the New Payment Services Act has been revoked under that paragraph, and the date on which the person was so ordered is deemed to be the date of revocation of registration under that Article under that paragraph.
