Japan Plans to Slash Crypto Tax Rate from 55% to 20% in 2026 Reform

Japan’s Financial Services Agency reportedly plans to reclassify 105 cryptocurrencies as financial products and reduce the tax rate on crypto gains from a steep 55% maximum to a flat 20%, aligning with stock market tax policy. The proposed reform targets legislative submission in the 2026 Diet session. This regulatory overhaul is Japan’s boldest move yet to revive its crypto sector.
