Cryptocurrency is legal in the Czech Republic with a growing regulatory framework aligned with EU standards. Crypto gains are subject to personal income tax at 15% (or 23% for high earners). A 2024 amendment introduced a tax exemption for crypto held over 3 years, effective from 2025.

Japan is one of the world's most comprehensively regulated crypto markets. The Payment Services Act and Financial Instruments and Exchange Act govern crypto exchanges and tokens. Japan classifies crypto as "crypto-assets" and taxes gains as miscellaneous income at rates up to 55%, though reforms to lower this rate are under active discussion.
