Bloomberg reported on June 11, 2026, that Japan’s lower house passed legislation to regulate crypto assets more like stocks. The bill would classify crypto as financial instruments, creating a potential path for crypto ETFs in Japan.
The proposal affects investors, exchanges and asset managers seeking clearer rules for digital assets. Bloomberg reported that the framework would bring stricter trading rules, insider-trading penalties and a planned tax shift from a maximum 55% rate to a 20% flat capital-gains rate.
The next point to watch is approval in the upper house and final implementation timing. The bill is expected to take effect next year, while the tax change is expected in 2028, making legal passage and ETF rulemaking the practical signals ahead.
