According to Nikkei Asia, at the “OPEN QUICK 2026” seminar hosted by financial information services company QUICK, Japan’s Finance and Financial Services Minister, Gōtsuki Shōyama, said that for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that use crypto assets as underlying assets, Japan also hopes to advance discussions in the direction of easing restrictions. Shōyama said that as trading of crypto asset ETFs expands overseas, Japan should also improve an environment that allows users and investors to trade with confidence. Separately, according to a report relayed by Crypto Times, relevant prerequisites include progress on amendments to bring crypto assets under the regulatory framework of Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

Kata-yama’s comments sound conservative, but the direction is right—first reassure users, then talk.

Overseas ETFs have been playing for two years now—this Japan push is probably forced to perform, huh, haha.
