New Cryptocurrency Regulations: Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is considering regulations that would classify cryptocurrencies as financial products, subjecting them to insider trading rules and requiring disclosure of risks by exchange providers.
Tax Rate Reduction: The proposed regulations would lower the tax rate on profits from cryptocurrency transactions to 20%, aligning it with stock trading, down from the current rate of up to 55%.
