日本将加密货币视为金融产品，赋予它们与股票和债券相同的法律地位

日本金融服务局有望实施与虚拟资产有关的法律修正案。该修正案包括将虚拟资产视为金融产品。

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is set to introduce legal changes that will provide virtual assets with the same legal status as financial products.

日本金融服务局（FSA）将引入法律变更，以提供与金融产品相同的法律地位的虚拟资产。

The agency plans to submit an amendment to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act by 2026 that will include recognizing virtual assets as financial products, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported on Thursday.

Nihon Keizai Shimbun周四报道说，该机构计划在2026年之前对《金融工具和交流法》提交一项修正案，其中包括将虚拟资产承认为金融产品。

The FSA intends to announce the policy for institutional amendments in June and finalize the submission to the National Diet after discussions on the amendment at the Financial System Council.

FSA打算在6月份宣布制度修正案的政策，并在对金融系统委员会的修正案进行讨论之后，最终确定国家饮食的提交。

Since last October, the FSA has been reviewing the current system through closed expert meetings.

自去年10月以来，FSA一直通过封闭的专家会议来审查当前系统。

Currently, virtual assets are only defined as a means of payment under the "Payment Services Act." But once this legal amendment is completed, virtual assets will be recognized as financial products, like stocks and bonds.

当前，虚拟资产仅定义为“付款服务法”下的付款方式。但是，一旦完成该法律修正案，虚拟资产将被视为金融产品，例如股票和债券。

As the FSA recognizes virtual assets as legal financial products, it plans to establish related laws to prevent unfair trading and strictly crack down on insider trading.

由于FSA将虚拟资产承认为合法金融产品，因此计划制定相关法律，以防止不公平的交易并严格打击内幕交易。

Moreover, the FSA is reportedly discussing the possibility of lowering the tax rate, which is up to 55%, to 20%, the same as financial income.

此外，据报道，FSA正在讨论降低税率的可能性，该税率高达55％，至20％，与财务收入相同。
