Japan’s FSA Plans Key Crypto Reforms
In an important development, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is planning a major shift in its approach to cryptocurrency regulations. This includes potential tax cuts and the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs. The move could position Japan as one of the leading crypto-friendly jurisdictions and further drive institutional interest in digital assets.
Bitcoin Price Holds Firm, But Key Support Remains Critical
Bitcoin price has seen a 1.22% surge on its daily chart, taking its tag to $98,095.43. The market capitalization of BTC now stands at $1.94 trillion, while its intraday trading volume has risen 10.64% to $36.17 billion. However, market proponents warn that if BTC fails to hold its $93k support level, liquidation of nearly $1.3 billion in leveraged long positions could trigger a broader market decline.
