BlockBeats News, December 2nd, according to Nikkei Asia, the Japanese government has supported changing the cryptocurrency capital gains tax rate from the current top-tier rate of up to 55% to a unified 20% fixed rate, aligning with other financial products such as stocks. This tax reform will be part of a proposal by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) and is planned to be submitted to the Diet in early 2026.

It is reported that the Japan Blockchain Association (JBA) has been advocating for this for nearly three years, believing that the current high tax rate hinders the development of the domestic crypto market. The new tax system will be implemented in conjunction with a stricter investor protection framework, including a ban on insider trading and enhanced disclosure requirements.
