Selling Tether in Japan
Selling Tether (USDT) in Japan follows the standard NTA framework. The Japanese stablecoin regulatory regime adds a layer of nuance.
Mechanics. Send USDT to a regulated platform on the supported network (ERC-20 Ethereum, TRC-20 Tron, or SOL), complete KYC, agree on the sell rate, pick a payout. Confirm the network with the deposit address before sending. Payout in JPY via Furikomi or card.
NTA tax. USDT disposals are zatsu shotoku at progressive rates up to 55%. The dollar value of USDT barely moves, but USD/JPY does. The JPY value of your USDT at sell can differ materially from the JPY value at purchase due to USD/JPY movement. NTA treats this as part of the zatsu shotoku calculation. Crypto-to-crypto swaps involving USDT prior to the JPY sale were also taxable events.
Stablecoin regulation in Japan changed materially in 2023 with the implementation of revised PSA rules covering stablecoins. Under the new framework, only Japanese-issued stablecoins backed by trust assets are recognised as electronic payment instruments; foreign-issued stablecoins like USDT are subject to specific distribution rules. Eligibility for retail USDT services through Banxa Japan reflects this regulatory framework; coverage may have specific requirements.
USDT briefly broke peg in 2018 and during the 2022 Terra-Luna event, dipping to 96-99 cents. Day-to-day, it trades within fractions of a cent of one dollar.
USDT is a stablecoin, not a savings product. The peg is a contractual arrangement subject to issuer risk. This is not financial advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lock a rate, send the USDT on exactly the network the deposit screen names, and the yen follows once the transfer confirms. The network choice is the step to slow down on: USDT exists on several chains, they are not interchangeable, and sending on the wrong one is how deposits get lost. The payout itself then runs at bank speed.
A wallet that lets you choose the sending network, since matching the deposit screen's network is non-negotiable with USDT. Alongside that, first-time sellers complete a short photo ID verification, usually minutes, and everyone needs a payout account in their own name. Accounts that do not match the verified name are where payouts stall, so check that first.
Most often the USDT transfer is still confirming on its network, or the bank simply has not processed the yen credit yet; same-day arrival is common at major banks but not universal. A name mismatch on the account triggers a manual review. Limits track payout method and verification level, shown before you send. Confirm the on-chain leg in the explorer for whichever network you used.
