Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba recently expressed a cautious attitude towards the application of a uniform 20% separate taxation rule for cryptocurrency (virtual currency) in a representative question at the plenary session of the House of Representatives, stating, "Is it appropriate for the government to encourage investment in cryptocurrencies that have investor protection regulations, such as stocks and investment trusts? Will the public understand the idea of applying a separate self-assessment tax? There are several questions that need to be addressed. Careful consideration is needed." He also mentioned, "Whether cryptocurrencies should be included in ETFs needs to be considered based on whether they are assets that should be made easier for the public to invest in."
