Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is reportedly considering dissolving parliament for a snap election in mid-February.
Why we should care:
Pro-Growth Stance: Takaichi is a fan of aggressive stimulus and low rates. Markets are already celebrating with a record-high Nikkei.
Tax Reform 2026: Her administration is pushing to reclassify crypto as a "financial asset," slashing the tax rate from up to 55% down to 20%.
Innovation First: She’s historically been open to crypto donations and digital asset adoption.
If she wins big in February, Japan could officially become the most "pro-crypto" G7 nation.
Is Japan leading the way while the US and EU struggle with regulations?
Why care about something that hasn’t nothing about bitcoin? About men that only want to have a motivation to keeping robbing you.
"I totally get the 'Bitcoin only' mindset. But when a major G7 nation like Japan starts slashing crypto taxes from 55% to 20%, it creates a massive on-ramp for fresh capital into the whole ecosystem.
Even if fiat is a 'robbery,' a pro-growth PM in Japan is better for BTC adoption than a hostile one, don't you think?"
