Japanese House of Representatives member and Liberal Democratic Party Finance Committee Chairman Seiji Kihara stated at the WebX 2026 forum that the amendment to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, currently under deliberation in the National Diet, will shift the regulatory focus of crypto assets from payment methods to investment products and lay the institutional groundwork for blockchain integration into the traditional financial system. Seiji Kihara and other attendees believe that crypto asset ETFs, separating crypto asset income from other income and taxing it at approximately a 20% rate, as well as allowing trading losses to offset future profits, will help attract traditional financial institutions and institutional investors to the market. Attendees also discussed issues such as reserve requirements and relaxing the current 2x leverage limit.
