Survey on Requests for Crypto Market Growth
JinaCoin, a cryptocurrency news media outlet operated by jaybe Inc. (Headquarters: Takamatsu, Kagawa; CEO: Yoriyuki Mizusawa), conducted a survey on the cryptocurrency investment environment targeting 351 residents in Japan aged 20 and over.
Currently, Japan is considering a policy to shift cryptocurrency taxation from a maximum 55% comprehensive tax to approximately 20% separate self-assessment taxation for transactions starting in 2028. This survey clarifies what investors want from the government and industry organizations to further grow the market.
### Survey Overview - **Title**: Survey on the Cryptocurrency Investment Environment - **Period**: April 17, 2026 – April 20, 2026 - **Target**: 351 residents in Japan aged 20+ (202 men, 143 women, 6 others)
### Key Findings "Fundamental reform of the cryptocurrency tax system" was the most common request (44 respondents). In addition to tax rate adjustments, there is significant demand for reducing the burden of tax filing and introducing a "specific account" (withholding tax) system, similar to that used for stock investments.
Other notable requests included: - **Strengthening investor protection** (39 respondents) - **Education and awareness activities** (37 respondents) - **Relaxation of trading rules** (32 respondents) - **Clarification of legal regulations** (29 respondents)
### Investor Feedback - "Many individual investors and companies are holding off on entering the market because the crypto tax system is complicated. Clearing this would revitalize the market." - "If we could choose to trade through specific accounts like we do with stocks, it would reduce the burden of filing tax returns." - "I want solid infrastructure for investor protection and security measures."
