A collaboration with DPP- which seems possible- can help Takaichi prioritize a pro-deregulation stance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So far, Takaichi\u2019s administration seems to have been embracing growth-focused incentives that could open doors for long-discussed economic reforms. This may include bringing crypto tax to a flat 20% instead of the steep 55% applicable currently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Japan\u2019s top regulator has been advocating treating digital assets like stocks and allowing a three-year loss carry forwards. If this comes in place, it would most certainly reduce the crypto tax burden.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Japan Eyes Letting Banks Hold And Trade Bitcoin As Crypto Adoption Grows <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/V0udT7vRuq\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/V0udT7vRuq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 zerohedge (@zerohedge) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/zerohedge\/status\/1980437666953892289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">October 21, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/sanae-takaichi-becomes-japans-first-female-prime-minister-what-her-fiscal-policies-could-mean-for-crypto\/\">Japan Stock Market: What Sanae Takaichi Could Mean for Crypto<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"will-takaichi-deliver-the-crypto-tax-reform-japans-been-waiting-for-u-s-japan-crypto-cooperation-on-the-table\">Japan\u2019s Three Largest Banks Jointly Issue Stablecoin<\/h2>\n<p>On 17 October 2025, three Japanese banking giants including Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui and Mizuho announced that they are looking to jointly issue Yen-pegged stablecoins.
