The move is expected to attract cryptocurrency investors who fled the country after heavy burdens caused by taxes on unrealized profits.
Undeniably, the cryptocurrency and blockchain markets have turned into a huge backbone for the development of economic growth prospects in many markets around the world. For now, it’s a safe bet that countries have a clear understanding that the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries are here to stay, and are therefore wise to take advantage of their ingenuity in rebuilding their economies after the devastation wrought by Covid-19. Japan has always been a major growth factor for most crypto projects, especially those fleeing the US due to punitive regulatory aspects. Crypto projects like Ripple have made a huge entry into the Japan market with cross-border payment solutions including RippleNet.
Japanese regulators are opening the floodgates for crypto projects
After the rapid growth of the cryptocurrency market through the decentralized financial industry (DeFi), the Japanese government is keen to attract investors to take advantage of its vast domestic market. In a recent update on cryptocurrency in Japan, the country’s national tax agency via the tax committee of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) approved a proposal to exempt digital asset projects from paying unrealized gains on their products.
Essentially, crypto projects operating in the Japanese market had to pay unrealized taxes of about 35 percent on digital tokens issued in the domestic market. The document added that the tax credits would apply to unrealized gains from holding applicable crypto assets continuously from the date of issue or from taking certain technical measures to prevent their transfer to other people.

According to the country’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, the cryptocurrency market has an opportunity to transform the financial market for the betterment of the future. The narrative is illustrated by the fact that Kishida reassured investors through a speech in Parliament last year that the country will continue to focus on supporting the social implementation of digital technology.
Earlier last year, the incumbent ruling party in Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) released a white paper on NFT that pointed to the Web3 industry as the new frontier of the digital economy and outlined plans to advance the national strategy on mainstream adoption.
