Shigeru Ishiba calls Bitcoin a once-in-a-century opportunity at WebX 2025

  • Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba declared Bitcoin a 'once-in-a-century opportunity' at WebX 2025, signaling strong government support for Web3 and digital assets.
  • The administration plans significant crypto tax reforms by 2026 to attract innovators and institutional capital, moving away from high 'miscellaneous income' tax rates.
  • This policy shift aims to leverage Web3 for economic revitalization, addressing issues like regional stagnation and an aging workforce, though past caution on national Bitcoin reserves suggests potential limits.
