Japan’s FY2026 tax reform outline proposes reclassifying crypto assets as financial products under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, cutting the tax rate on gains from up to 55% to a flat 20.315%.

Staking, lending, and NFTs likely stay under miscellaneous income at progressive rates, pending 2026 legislation.
