Nearly 80% of Japan’s institutional investors plan to add crypto within three years, signaling a major shift toward digital assets adoption

Japan's institutional intent surveys have run hot since 2021 while actual GPIF allocation stays at zero. The 55% separate taxation regime on crypto gains and FSA refusal to approve spot BTC ETFs have choked conversion, and NISA accounts can't touch digital assets at all. Watch the LDP's 20% flat rate reform proposal; that's the allocation unlock, not survey data.
