๐ฏ๐ต JAPAN'S RECORD BUDGET APPROVED โ FISCAL TURNAROUND & CRYPTO GOES MAINSTREAM ๐ฅ๐ฅ
๐จ Double Headline Drop Today (Dec 26, 2025):
1๏ธโฃ First Primary Balance Surplus in 27 Years! ๐
Japan's cabinet just greenlit a record ยฅ122.3 trillion FY2026 budget โ and PM Takaichi confirmed the initial plan projects a primary balance surplus for the first time since 1998. ๐ This marks a massive step toward stabilizing the massive debt pile after decades of deficits.
2๏ธโฃ Crypto Reclassified as Official Financial Products** โฟ
In the 2026 tax reform outline, digital assets are being moved under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act โ treated like stocks! This paves the way for:
โ Flat 20% tax on gains (down from up to 55%)
โ Loss carryforwards & clearer rules
โ Potential ETFs and institutional inflows ๐
๐ The Macro Shift:
ยท Huge ยฅ122.3T budget focused on growth, defense, and social security
ยท New bond issuance capped under ยฅ30T โ debt reliance dropping
ยท Goal: Gradually tame the ~235% debt-to-GDP while boosting innovation
๐ก Why This is Massive for Crypto:
Japan isn't just fixing finances โ it's embracing digital assets as a core part of **national wealth building** and future growth. Legitimacy unlocked, tax relief incoming, and asset managers (Nomura, Daiwa, etc.) are gearing up for crypto products.
๐ค Big Question:
Is this the spark for Japan to lead Asia's crypto boom โ or the smart pivot to diversify amid fiscal pressures?
Bullish vibes all around! ๐ธ๐
