⬤ Japan's political scene is heating up before the vote, with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi riding high on 60 to 80 percent approval ratings. She's looking to turn that public support into a parliamentary majority that could push crypto reforms through fast.
⬤ What's on the table? Changes to crypto taxes, new stablecoin rules, and clearer legal guidelines for digital assets. These are the issues crypto watchers are keeping their eyes on as election day approaches.
⬤ Whether these changes happen quickly or get stuck in political gridlock depends entirely on how the parliamentary seats shake out after voters have their say.
⬤ This election could set the direction for crypto regulation in Japan for years to come, potentially affecting how Bitcoin and other digital assets are treated in one of Asia's largest markets.
