Japan discusses integrating cryptocurrencies into stock market infrastructure
In Japan, discussions are underway about integrating cryptocurrencies into the stock market infrastructure. The government sees crypto exchanges as a primary channel for mass access to digital assets, drawing on the US experience with crypto ETFs. The year 2026 is already being called a "digital" year for the country's financial system.

At the same time, authorities plan to reclassify cryptocurrencies as financial products, reduce taxation, and consider allowing banks to hold and trade crypto assets.
These measures could significantly reshape Japan's crypto landscape and increase participation from both institutional and retail investors in the near future.
