Question 1

What is Ethereum?

Accepted Answer

Ethereum is the network behind many of the most widely used crypto applications. Developers use it to run smart contracts, which power DeFi platforms, NFTs, and other on-chain services. The network switched to proof of stake during the Merge in September 2022, cutting energy use by more than 99%. Validators now secure the system and process transactions. Ethereum also reduces supply through EIP-1559. The network burns part of each transaction fee, especially when activity is high. ETH is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation and plays a central role in the broader crypto ecosystem.

Question 2

How do I convert ETH to Japanese yen?

The BitMEX crypto converter is free and updates continuously, so you can check the ETH/JPY price whenever you need.

Question 3

Why does yen depreciation affect Ethereum's JPY price?

Accepted Answer

Ethereum trades mostly in US dollars, so the ETH/JPY price depends on the USD/JPY exchange rate. When the yen weakens and USD/JPY rises, the same ETH price converts into more yen. Bank of Japan policy has contributed to a weaker yen over time, which can reduce purchasing power. Negative rates and yield curve control play a role in that trend. Returns also influence demand. ETH staking typically offers around 3% to 4% annually, while yen deposits often offer near-zero or even negative returns. This gap can push investors toward Ethereum. The yen carry trade adds to demand. Investors borrow yen at low rates and move that capital into higher-return assets, including ETH.

Question 4

How does Japan's crypto tax regime affect Ethereum holders?

Accepted Answer

Japan taxes crypto gains as miscellaneous income, with rates that can reach up to 55% including local taxes. Ethereum holders face an added layer with staking. You must report the yen value of each staking reward as income when you receive it, not just when you sell ETH. This means you can owe tax even if you haven’t sold anything. Short-term trading profits fall under the same high rates, so frequent trading can quickly increase your tax burden. This is why many holders limit how often they trade. Staking creates a similar trade-off. You earn rewards, but each payout comes with ongoing reporting and tax obligations.
