Japan Approves Web3 White Paper To Facilitate Crypto Development

Key Points:

• The Web3 project committee of Japan’s governing Liberal Democratic Party has accepted a whitepaper outlining ideas for boosting the country’s crypto industry.
• The Web3 project team intends to circumvent traditional bureaucratic procedures in order to provide regulatory suggestions for anything from NFTs to DAOs.
• According to Japan’s whitepaper, the nation should show leadership at this year’s G7 conference, where crypto will be debated.

The Web3 project team of Japan’s governing Liberal Democratic Party has issued a white paper with proposals for increasing the country’s industry, which has been integrated into Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s administration’s national policy.

Although other governments are working to implement rules to safeguard consumers, Japan is pushing forward with a plan to create a more welcoming climate for cryptocurrency after enterprises started fleeing to other jurisdictions owing to high tax burdens.

The Web3 project team has avoided traditional bureaucratic methods in order to develop regulation suggestions for everything from non-fungible tokens (NFT) to decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs).

According to Japan’s whitepaper, the nation should show leadership at the Group of Seven (G7) conference this year, where crypto will be debated. It advises that Japan should consider the possibilities of Web3 in the future and explain its leadership position in technology-neutral and responsible innovation.

Moreover, the white paper suggests significant changes to tax legislation, despite the fact that a major exemption for token issuers has already been granted. These include tax breaks for businesses that own tokens created by other companies that are not intended to be sold in the near term. It recommends permitting self-assessment, allowing investors to carry over losses for up to three years, and taxing cryptocurrency only when it is converted into fiat money.

The white paper cites a serious concern: the lack of accounting standards, which has made it difficult for Web3 firms to get auditors. The paper suggests that ministries and government organizations work with the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants to develop recommendations.

It also recommends the creation of a DAO statute fashioned after Japan’s godo kaisha, which is similar to a limited liability corporation. It also makes recommendations for changes to the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

Major Japanese companies have shown interest in the Web3 sector. Nonetheless, the white paper states that permissions for banks and insurance firms joining the business are still ambiguous and recommends establishing criteria.

The white paper on NFTs recommends public-private collaborations to develop lawful business models for fantasy sports services. It also suggests that the public and commercial sectors collaborate to sort out data and NFT rights, as well as look at methods for content owners to lawfully license NFTs.

The white paper emphasizes that although the screening procedure for existing tokens is getting quicker, the examination of new tokens issued by foreign organizations remains slow. It recommends that processes be made more open, allowing issuers to give critical information for examination.
