🇯🇵 JAPAN JUST FLIPPED THE SCRIPT ON CRYPTO
Diet officially passed it — crypto in Japan is now a financial instrument, not just a payment tool.
What changes:
→ Moved under the same law that governs stocks & bonds (FIEA)
→ Tax on crypto gains drops from up to 55% to a flat 20% (starts 2028)
→ Legal runway opened for spot Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs
→ Tighter insider trading rules + harsher penalties for unregistered exchanges
Worth noting — the ETF pathway is now legal, but no product has actually been filed yet. JPX has hinted listings could land as early as 2027.
Still, this is one of the cleanest regulatory rulebooks any major economy has built for crypto. Institutions like Nomura and SBI are already positioning.#Japan
NFA. DYOR.
Do you think Japan's retail wave shows up before the ETFs do, or after? 👇
