The proposal includes cryptocurrencies in the list of assets that can be acquired or held by local investment limited partnerships (LPS). If the legal amendment is implemented, Japanese VCs will be able to invest in projects that only issue virtual currencies, lowering the threshold for Japanese Web3 companies to raise funds and conduct business.

This generation tends to view cryptocurrencies as part of asset allocation and seek investment options different from traditional assets (such as stocks and bonds).
Increase in institutional investors: With the legalization of crypto assets and the launch of ETFs, institutional investors such as banks and funds have also begun to get involved in cryptocurrency investment.
The number of cryptocurrency accounts in Japan has exceeded 10 million, indicating that the Japanese crypto asset market has entered a mature stage and its potential market size has further expanded. The compliance and transparency of the market have boosted investor confidence and laid the foundation for more capital inflows.
