By slashing crypto taxes from 55% to 20% and reclassifying digital assets under the same framework as stocks, Tokyo has made holding and trading XRP dramatically more attractive to institutions, exchanges, and corporate treasuries. But the gap between catalyst and breakout is real. XRP trades near $1.40, down 60% from its July 2025 high of $3.65-reaching $4 requires a 185% rally.

Authorities use blockchain analytics firms like Chainalysis to link wallet addresses with real identities, tracking even complex DeFi and cross-chain transactions.
