Japan To Approve Crypto ETFs as Soon as 2028
By 2028, Japan plans to authorize its first Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, according to many sources. By doing this, a long-standing restriction on these instruments would be lifted, and local investors would have a controlled route to cryptocurrency exposure.
The Financial Services Agency plans to add cryptocurrencies to the list of eligible “specified assets” under the Investment Trust Act by that time. After that change, spot crypto ETFs holding assets like bitcoin could list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, subject to final approvals.
