As reported by 36 Crypto, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is preparing to overhaul the country’s cryptocurrency regulations, including classifying digital assets as financial products and introducing insider trading bans. The proposed reforms also aim to reduce the capital gains tax on approved cryptocurrencies from up to 55% to a flat 20%. Additionally, the FSA is considering lifting the ban on banks holding cryptocurrencies and allowing them to register as licensed exchanges. These changes are expected to be presented to Japan’s parliament in 2026.
