A group of leading Japanese companies is urging regulators to prioritize crypto ETFs centered on major digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The recommendation, which involves financial giants such as Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, Nomura, Daiwa Securities, and the country’s leading exchange, bitFlyer, highlights the more stable and large-cap nature of these assets, making them attractive to long-term investors. The coalition’s report, released on Friday, also calls for a revision of the tax framework on crypto, specifically advocating separate tax treatment for income from digital assets. The push is in line with Japan’s ongoing assessment of changing international regulations to determine its own stance on crypto ETFs.
