#数字资产动态追踪 Japanese Finance Minister announces: By 2026, the goal is to become the "Year of Digital Assets," with the core highlight being—"Digital assets like Bitcoin must be listed on stock and commodity exchanges."

In simple terms, this is about breaking down the wall between traditional finance and crypto assets. Previously, Bitcoin was seen as a "mess of miscellaneous things" by regulators; now, it will sit at the same table as stocks and become a legitimate financial product.

The underlying logic is quite clear—Japanese people are planning to move a large sum of money. The total financial assets of Japanese households are nearly 2300 trillion yen (roughly $15 trillion USD). The problem is that over half of that—about 1100 trillion yen—is sitting in banks earning almost zero interest. This is what’s called "sleeping capital."

Once the threshold of listing on an exchange is crossed, just by moving 1% of these deposits, over $75 billion can be injected into the crypto market. This is not just about increasing liquidity; more importantly, Asia is seriously considering using digital assets to hedge against the dollar risk.

The timeline to watch is the end of March. At that time, the parliament will hold a budget meeting, and whether the crypto asset tax and classification reform plan passes will be the real "starting gun." If it passes, the bull market logic will truly be in place. $BTC
