WebX, Japan’s flagship Web3 conference, has successfully concluded its fourth edition following two days of high-level discussions, product showcases and networking opportunities. The event drew an attendance of 13,641 participants from over 90 countries and featured over 70 side events.
Against the backdrop of Japan’s rapidly evolving digital asset regulatory framework, WebX 2026 became a focal point for discussions on yen stablecoins, tokenization adoption by megabanks, and the rising institutional confidence driving the industry’s growth.
These conversations were led by a distinguished line-up of policymakers, regulators, institutional leaders, founders and technology innovators, including Sanae Takaichi, the Prime Minister of Japan; Katayama Satsuki, Japan’s Minister of Finance; Ryosei Akazawa, Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry; Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine; Ian De Bode, CEO of Ondo Finance; John D'Agostino, Head of Strategy at Coinbase; Nischint Sanghavi, Head of Digital Currencies, Asia Pacific at Visa, among many others.
Key Highlights of WebX 2026:

- Business Networking Area: Attendees arranged one-to-one meetings by downloading the Bizzabo event app, building meaningful connections with potential partners, investors and industry peers.
- WebX 2026 Memory Wall: Decorated with wisteria flowers and Wagasa umbrellas inspired by elements of a traditional Japanese festival, attendees could snap a complimentary Polaroid shot by the WebX memory wall.
