Binance Referral Code in Japan

Why it is separate

Japan requires crypto exchanges serving residents to register with the FSA and comply with domestic rules on listings, custody and consumer protection. Meeting those rules means operating a domestic platform rather than routing users to the global one.

The practical consequence for a Japanese resident is that the account you can open is the local one, and referral arrangements built for the global platform typically have no effect on it. Before assuming a code applies, check on the platform you are actually registering with.

Tax

Japan taxes crypto gains as miscellaneous income, subject to progressive rates that reach substantially higher levels than the flat capital gains treatment used in many other countries.

That treatment makes the tax position the dominant cost consideration for Japanese traders by a wide margin, and it is worth understanding properly before optimising anything else.

This is general information, not tax advice.

What this page is for

Mostly to save you time. If you are a Japanese resident, the fee-discount arithmetic elsewhere on this site is still useful as background, but the code itself is unlikely to change what you pay.

The general material — order types, position sizing, security settings, funding rates — applies to any exchange and is not specific to the platform you use.
