[The Japanese Financial Services Agency discusses the issue of promoting the handling of virtual currencies in games, etc.] On September 25, the Japanese Financial Services Agency discussed providing companies with a more convenient mechanism for handling crypto assets (virtual currencies) at a panel meeting on the revision of its funds settlement law. Participants believed that reducing the burden on companies would promote the participation of large domestic game companies and promote the research and development of related blockchain ecosystems. The meeting also mentioned that as the virtual currency market expands, discussions on exchange supervision and new regulations are becoming more frequent. Liberal Democratic Party Web3 Project Team Leader Hei Masaki pointed out that unoptimized tax issues pose an obstacle to the establishment of start-ups, causing outstanding talents and companies to flow overseas. The Financial Services Agency emphasized that the issue of direct assessment and taxation of self-issued tokens has been resolved through tax reform, but it still faces audit challenges for non-mainstream tokens.
