Currently, the maximum tax rate on crypto revenues in Japan might be up to 55%. This high tax rate has been blamed for limiting investment in the booming bitcoin business. In response, several investors are lobbying for a more favorable tax system, notably a 20% single tax rate. 
This amendment will put crypto taxes in line with the tax treatment of traditional financial products such as stocks. The proposed tax reform comes at a time when Japan’s involvement with cryptocurrency is growing. 
According to <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/xrp-to-fuel-payment-platform-for-61-japanese-banks-on-ripple-network-by-2025-report/">CNF</a>, Ripple, a prominent cryptocurrency firm, has collaborated with over 50 Japanese institutions to create a new payment infrastructure using distributed ledger technology. This agreement demonstrates Japan’s growing institutional interest in blockchain and digital assets. 
In addition to institutional advancements, private enterprises in Japan are boosting their crypto investments. Metaplanet, a well-known Japanese public business, has <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/japans-metaplanet-plans-massive-bitcoin-investment-70-million-to-transform-financial-landscape/">announced plans to raise $60 million</a> in share sales to increase its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings to $70 million. 
The company views bitcoin as a long-term asset with the potential for significant value appreciation as well as an inflation hedge.
