PANews reported on May 1st, citing Bloomberg, that Hiroki Yamamichi, CEO of Japan Exchange Group (JPX), stated that JPX plans to proceed with preparations for listing a crypto ETF after the revision of laws related to crypto assets is completed, potentially as early as next year. Yamamichi said that many asset management companies are interested in crypto ETFs, and progress can be made at any time, provided the legal framework and tax treatment are clear. If legislation proceeds smoothly, a listing could be achieved in 2027; otherwise, it may be delayed until 2028. JPX's mid-term business plan includes "entering new asset classes," aiming to attract a broader investor base by enriching its product line.
