Japan to reclassify 105 cryptocurrencies as financial products, paving way for a 20% tax rate.

TL;DR: Japan’s FSA is preparing a major crypto tax overhaul by classifying BTC, ETH, and 100+ other assets as financial products. This would cut crypto taxes from as high as 55% down to a flat 20% capital gains rate, bringing crypto in line with stock trading. New insider-trading rules are also coming as Japan tries to create a safer, more competitive market ahead of 2026.
