Japan Crypto Bill Nears Parliament Vote in Stock-Style Reform Push
Share:
Japan's lower house approved a crypto reform bill to reclassify digital assets as financial instruments under securities-style rules, aligning trading, disclosure and enforcement with stocks and providing regulatory clarity for crypto markets. The law, expected to take effect next year with a top crypto gains tax cut from 55% to a flat 20% in 2028 and Japan Exchange Group forecasting crypto-linked ETFs to list next year, should support institutional adoption, ETF issuance, token launches, CEX and DeFi fundraising and improve security and market trust.
