Japanese Media: Japan's "Cryptocurrency Tax Rate Reduced to 20%" Policy Only Applies to "Specific" Digital Assets
According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on December 29, as reported by Cryptonews citing Nikkei News, Japan has recently released its 2026 tax reform blueprint, which will significantly reduce the cryptocurrency tax rate to a unified 20%. Currently, cryptocurrency gains in Japan are taxed at up to 55%, and this high tax rate has suppressed domestic trading activity.
According to the report, the new tax reform will include cryptocurrency profits under the same unified 20% tax rate framework as stocks and investment trusts, but only for "specified crypto assets" handled by companies registered with the Financial Instruments Business Operator Registry. Major cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum may qualify, but specific business requirements remain unclear.
