Less Than 5% Satisfied With Japan's Crypto Investment Environment

JinaCoin, a cryptocurrency news media outlet operated by jaybe (based in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture; CEO: Takayuki Mizusawa), conducted a survey of 351 Japan-based residents aged 20 and over regarding the systems and environments surrounding crypto investment.

Japan is currently considering a policy to shift crypto trade taxation from the current progressive tax rate of up to 55% to a separate self-assessment tax of approximately 20%, effective from 2028. This survey clarified the level of satisfaction with the current systems surrounding crypto investment as these tax reform discussions progress.

Only 4.8% of respondents answered that they were "satisfied" with the current system. This consists of 1.1% "very satisfied" and 3.7% "somewhat satisfied." Combined, "very dissatisfied" and "somewhat dissatisfied" accounted for 41.3%, exceeding the 33.6% who answered "neutral."

Among current crypto holders (128 respondents), 62.5% expressed dissatisfaction. 58.8% of those who previously held crypto also reported dissatisfaction. By age group, respondents in their 30s (46.8%) and 40s (44.3%) reported the highest rates of dissatisfaction, indicating that those with more investment experience or exposure tend to give harsher evaluations.
