Japan's proposed tax reform for fiscal year 2026 includes a separate tax on spot, derivatives, and ETF trading of cryptocurrencies.

 according to CoinPost, Japan announced the tax reform outline for fiscal year 2026, which proposes different directions for the taxation system of virtual currencies and gradually positions crypto assets as "financial products that contribute to the formation of national assets."The tax reform outline lists "spot trading," "derivatives trading," and "ETFs" of virtual currencies as subjects for separate taxation, but not all crypto transactions are included in the new system; staking, lending income, and NFT transactions may still be subject to comprehensive taxation.
