Das Reisen im digitalen Zeitalter hat sich dramatisch verändert. Die Zeiten, in denen man Banken besuchen, Bargeld wechseln und sich Sorgen machen musste, genug Geld für eine internationale Reise dabei zu haben, sind vorbei. Heute suchen Reisende nach schnelleren, sichereren und bequemeren Möglichkeiten, im Ausland zu bezahlen – und Binance Pay entwickelt sich zu einer Top-Lösung für mühelose, grenzüberschreitende Transaktionen.
1️⃣ Verabschieden Sie sich von den Problemen mit Fremdwährungen
Der Umgang mit Fremdwährungen ist eine der größten Herausforderungen für internationale Reisende. Flughafentausch und lokale Geldwechsler sind oft mit hohen Gebühren und schlechten Wechselkursen verbunden. Mit Binance Pay können Nutzer direkt mit Kryptowährung aus ihrer digitalen Brieftasche bezahlen, wodurch die Notwendigkeit entfällt, Geld in mehrere Währungen umzutauschen. Für häufig reisende Personen, die zwischen Ländern wechseln, schafft dies ein reibungsloses, effizientes Zahlungserlebnis.

Japan’s government has unveiled a proposal to dramatically slash the tax on cryptocurrency gains, moving from a progressive rate of up to 55% down to a flat 20% on profits from qualifying digital assets. Under the draft 2026 tax reforms, “specified crypto assets” held through registered exchanges would be taxed like stocks and investment trusts, rather than as miscellaneous income. This effectively aligns crypto taxes with traditional capital gains and removes a longstanding hurdle for Japanese investors. At the same time, losses on crypto trades can now be carried forward for three years, and new investment products like crypto-focused ETFs and trusts (e.g. recent XRP ETFs) are explicitly welcomed. (The proposal is slated for submission in the Diet’s 2026 session.)
Flat 20% Rate: Crypto profits would face a uniform 20% levy (plus local tax), replacing the previous up-to-55% schedule.Scope Limited: Only “specified” tokens traded on licensed platforms qualify for the cut. Major coins like Bitcoin and Ether are expected to qualify, but offshore trades or unregistered assets remain under old rules.Regulatory Alignment: Cryptocurrencies are being reclassified under securities law. Exchanges and custodians will face stronger disclosure rules and oversight under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.Investor Protections: Besides loss carryforwards, crypto exchanges must now maintain liability reserves against hacks and comply with insider-trading bans, mirroring stock-market safeguards.
Key proposals in Japan’s 2026 tax plan: a flat 20% crypto gains tax (from the current ~55%), loss carryforward relief, and stricter securities-style oversight of digital assets.
Experts say these reforms could unlock significant pent-up demand in Japan’s crypto market. Japan’s Financial Services Agency and ruling coalition have argued that the steep tax rates to date have discouraged many investors, even as regulatory clarity and security have improved. CoinTelegraph notes that the new rules “align crypto assets with stocks and investment funds” and replace the burdensome “miscellaneous income” treatment. Finoject CEO Kimihiro Mine observes that treating crypto under the financial instruments law “strengthens investor protection measures… making crypto easier for many people to accept”. Similarly, a recent survey found over 70% of Japanese crypto users would take on more crypto risk if tax and regulatory rules were clarified.
Industry leaders are already positioning for this change. Cryptocurrencies held by Japanese investors hit a record ¥5 trillion (~$33B) by mid-2025, up 25% in a month, and domestic trading volumes have surged (estimated ¥20.6 trillion in 2024, +82% YoY). Coincheck’s Satoshi Hasuo notes that there are “around three times as many people with securities accounts as crypto accounts,” implying “considerable opportunity” to win new investors once the tax disincentive is lifted. Bitbank CEO Noriyuki Hirosue echoes that the government is taking a friendlier stance – aiming to keep Japan competitive as other countries also court crypto capital.
However, some industry groups urge caution. Crypto exchanges warn that high compliance costs mean over 90% of operators currently run at a loss. The tax-cut proposal applies only to exchanges and assets meeting strict registration rules. Still, many startups and trading firms have been lobbying for relief: Bloomberg reported that over 20 blockchain companies have moved offshore (to Singapore, etc.) due to Japan’s heavy taxes. The new 20% rate would finally put crypto on par with equity investments, potentially reversing that brain-drain.
Japan’s cryptocurrency market is already growing fast. By mid-2025 it counted ~12.4 million users (about 15% of adults) holding some ¥4.26 trillion in crypto assets. Trading volume and account registrations have more than doubled since 2022, suggesting the market is primed to expand further once barriers are eased.
Taken together, analysts say the tax overhaul could ignite a new adoption wave. With Japan’s retail base strong and institutional interest rising globally, a lower tax means more inflow of capital and trading activity. As CoinGeek puts it, removing the high tax removes “an off-putting barrier to investment” in a country where crypto interest is already climbing. The reform complements other initiatives – more crypto ETFs, stablecoin pilots, and clearer rules for exchanges – in Japan’s bid to become a major Web3 hub. If enacted, the new regime should make crypto investment more predictable for Japanese households and funds, likely driving higher volumes on local exchanges and attracting foreign capital into Asia’s second-largest economy. In short, a leaner tax on Bitcoin and friends could well unleash the next phase of Japan’s digital-asset boom.
