Crypto ETF Approval Delayed in Japan as Strict Taxes and Regulations Persist

By admin on 2024-10-23 Cryptocurrency

Japan’s regulators are reluctant to approve cryptocurrency-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), even as global markets embrace spot crypto ETFs.
Despite growing calls from domestic advocacy groups and partnerships forming to launch digital asset products, Japan’s tax and regulatory stance continues to present hurdles to adoption.
Mario Nawfal, entrepreneur and host of “The Roundtable Show” on X, described Japan’s approach to crypto ETFs as “still in HODL mode.”

Global market shifts
The United States and Hong Kong have already approved spot Bitcoin (
BTC
) and Ether (
ETF
) ETFs, demonstrating a growing willingness to incorporate crypto into traditional finance (TradFi).
This shift is evident in institutional and retail investment in new crypto ETF products, as on Oct. 22 when investors
poured $329 million into BlackRock’s
iShares Bitcoin Trust.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave spot BTC ETFs the green light in January, followed by Ether ETFs in July, while Hong Kong authorities approved both in April.
Still, Japan’s Ministry of Finance and its Financial Services Agency (FSA) remain cautious about the volatility and risks associated with crypto ETF products.

Tax and regulatory concerns
Japan’s tax policy is a central issue, as profits from general crypto investments are treated as miscellaneous income and are subject to a tax rate of up to 55%.
The country’s traditional ETFs are subject to a lower capital gains tax rate of about 20%, so the disparity remains a mainstream concern.
On Oct. 20, the leader of Japan’s Democratic Party for the People, Yuichiro Tamaki,
proposed that voters should support his party
if they think “crypto assets should be taxed separately at 20%.”
In an X post, Tamaki said there should be “no tax when exchanging crypto assets with other crypto assets” and
explained
that the party wants to make Japan “a strong nation” in Web3. Still, Tamaki’s party has relatively few seats in Japan’s parliament.

Metaplanet purchased a further 108.78 BTC

Dubbed “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” Metaplanet has been aggressively acquiring BTC and, according to its latest notice, held 639.5 BTC worth around $40.5 million.
