Japan Poised to Cut Crypto Taxes and Redefine Digital Assets by 2025

Japan Poised to Cut Crypto Taxes and Redefine Digital Assets by 2025

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is preparing to reevaluate its crypto regulations, aiming to create a more investor-friendly environment by 2025, according to a Bloomberg report from Sept. 25.

The FSA’s review , continuing through the winter, will assess if current regulations under the Payments Act are still suitable for the changing crypto landscape.

One potential outcome is the reclassification of digital assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, which could lead to stricter investment rules but may also lower the tax rate on crypto gains. Currently, crypto profits are taxed up to 55%, but a reclassification could reduce this to around 20%, matching taxation on stocks and other financial assets. The local crypto industry has long advocated for lower taxes, believing this would boost investment and growth.

The review might also pave the way for the approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that include digital assets, further integrating cryptocurrencies into Japan’s financial markets. Japan has been focused on balancing innovation with investor protection, and this latest review aims to continue promoting the digital asset space while maintaining safeguards.
