Japan Sets to Slash Cryptocurrency Tax Rate, Boosting Market Growth

Japan is poised for a major change in its crypto tax policy, aiming to reduce the rate to 20% beginning in 2026. This move aims to attract both retail and institutional investors and could revitalize the nation’s cryptocurrency sector. The Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) proposed this tax overhaul, aligning digital asset taxes with those of traditional financial assets like stocks. This change is expected to boost market liquidity and participation by removing barriers for both large and small investors.
