Today, many retail investors in Japan face strict exchange rules and complex wallet requirements, which have slowed crypto adoption.
Tax Reduction From 55% to 20%
The FSA plans to submit new crypto legislation to Japan’s parliament in 2026. A key proposal would reclassify cryptocurrencies under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, reducing the crypto tax rate from as high as 55% to a flat 20%.
If approved, this tax cut could significantly boost investor interest and position Japan as a stronger player in Asia’s growing crypto ETF market.
While Japan may be entering late, strong institutions, lower taxes, and clearer rules could still make its crypto ETF launch highly impactful.
