The most significant bull runs in crypto history didn't start with retail hype, but with boring legislative amendments in rooms full of politicians.
Most of us sit on our hands during these quiet regulatory shifts, only to FOMO buy at the absolute peak when the mainstream media finally starts reporting on it. It is a painful cycle of watching others print wealth while you are left holding the bag.
Japan is officially advancing a law to classify $BTC and other digital assets as legitimate financial assets. This is a massive shift for the world's fourth-largest economy. For years, Japanese investors faced crippling tax rates of up to 55% on their gains. By reclassifying these assets, Japan is paving the way for institutional ETF products and significantly lower tax burdens, similar to what we saw trigger the massive capital inflows in the US earlier this year.
Having traded through the 2017 and 2021 cycles, I have learned that liquidity always follows the path of least regulatory resistance. When a major global economy lowers the barrier to entry, institutional money doesn't just trickle in; it floods. We are seeing the beginning of a global race where countries compete to host this capital rather than ban it, and $ETH and other majors will likely benefit from the overflow.
How do you think this policy shift in Asia will impact the timeline of the current market cycle?
