Japan's Web3 Boom Intensifies: Institutional Entry, Policy Shift, and Growing Demand for 'Crypto ETF-ization'—TEAMZ Web3/AI SUMMIT 2026 Announces Major Political Guests, Title Sponsorship Slots Sold Out
Japan's Web3 sector is accelerating in 2026, marked by increased institutional adoption from banks and financial firms, and a significant policy shift from the government. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama has publicly endorsed integrating crypto assets into traditional exchanges, citing US crypto ETF model as a reference. Concurrently, a major reform is underway to reduce the crypto tax rate from up to 55% to 20%, aligning it with stock investments.
Against this backdrop, the TEAMZ Web3 / AI SUMMIT 2026 has announced its first wave of high-profile speakers, including Minister Katayama and Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of the Democratic Party for the People. The event, themed "Tradition Meets Tomorrow," will be held at the historic Happo-en Garden in Tokyo and will focus on the convergence of Web3 and AI.
The summit's top-tier Title Sponsor slots are already sold out, with major industry players like XRP, Cardano, and SBI VC Trade participating. Over 130 speakers and 10,000 attendees are expected, supported by more than 100 media and community partners, as well as Japan's three major crypto industry associations. The event aims to showcase real-world applications and foster global business collaboration.
