Japan\u2019s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is reportedly drafting regulations <\/span>aimed at protecting<\/span> domestic assets from potential risks tied to foreign-based cryptocurrency exchanges. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following the collapse of the high-profile FTX exchange, which impacted investors worldwide, the FSA seeks to establish a \u201cholding order\u201d under Japan\u2019s Payment Services Act, according to a <\/span>6 November 2024 report from Mitrade<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The new mandate would restrict cryptocurrency exchanges from transferring Japanese customers\u2019 assets overseas, providing an added layer of security in the event of another exchange failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japan Changes Regulatory Approach To Digital Assets<\/span><\/h2>\n

The proposed holding order, which would apply to all exchanges registered under the Payment Services Act, represents a shift in Japan\u2019s regulatory approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, such restrictions only applied to firms registered under Japan\u2019s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. However, if the legislation is amended, the FSA could extend asset-protection measures across all crypto exchanges operating within Japan\u2019s jurisdiction, regardless of their headquarters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The proposed changes come as a response to the FTX crisis<\/span>, where Japanese<\/span> investors narrowly avoided significant losses due to existing regulations that allowed the FSA to issue a holding order. <\/span><\/p>\n

Under this system, funds held by domestic exchanges could not be transferred abroad, effectively safeguarding local assets in the wake of FTX\u2019s collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, 29 exchanges, both domestic and foreign, are registered under Japanese law and must adhere to regulations preventing asset outflows. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the proposed amendment, the FSA aims to strengthen this framework, ensuring that all exchanges handling Japanese assets keep customer funds within the country\u2019s borders.<\/span><\/p>\n

By establishing a more robust system, Japan\u2019s FSA seeks to protect investors from the fallout of foreign exchange failures. This will help maintain a secure and regulated environment for domestic cryptocurrency trading.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s FSA Prposes Flat 20% Tax Rate On Crypto Gains<\/span><\/h2>\n

In September, Japan\u2019s FSA <\/span>proposed a flat 20% tax rate<\/span><\/a> on crypto gains. This aligns them with traditional financial assets like stocks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The proposal\u00a0<\/span>came as<\/span> part of the FSA\u2019s tax reform request submitted on 30 August 2024. It aims to simplify the treatment of crypto investments by categorizing them similarly to traditional financial (TradFi) assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s crypto industry has long advocated for reforms to reduce the tax burden on digital assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2023, the Japan Blockchain Association (JBA) pushed for a flat 20% tax rate and a loss carryover provision to stimulate growth in the sector. However, previous efforts have not led to significant policy changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, Japanese crypto holders face steep tax rates, with individuals earning more than 40 million yen ($268,000) paying up to 55% <\/span>on<\/span> their crypto profits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corporate crypto holders also face a flat 30% tax on their holdings at the end of the financial year, regardless of whether they have sold any assets for profit.<\/span><\/p>\n
