From DeFi to Digital Identity: WebX 2025 Tackles the Hard Questions of Web3’s Future

Tokyo – August 2025, In the heart of Japan’s capital, WebX 2025 returns not just as Asia’s largest Web3 gathering but as one of the most intellectually rigorous summits shaping the next evolution of blockchain, digital finance, and decentralized infrastructure.

Held at The Prince Park Tower Tokyo on August 25–26, this year’s edition brings together more than 20,000 participants, from protocol builders and policymakers to AI researchers, fintech leaders, and game developers. With five themed stages, 150+ side events, and over 1,000 companies attending, WebX 2025 is the place to track what’s next and who’s building it.

Web3 at a Turning Point

While early Web3 was dominated by hype and speculation, WebX 2025 reflects a maturing ecosystem wrestling with adoption, regulation, and technical depth.

This year’s agenda goes beyond buzzwords, focusing on:

  • Stablecoin Infrastructure & Global Regulation
  • Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA)
  • AI x Blockchain Synergies
  • Cross-Border Compliance & Digital Identity
  • DeFi Scalability & Institutional Integration
  • GameFi, NFTs & Community Governance

For builders, traders, and founders alike, WebX offers front-row access to where the market is heading from Arthur Hayes opening the event with a macro DeFi and stablecoin thesis, to Mike Novogratz and Oki Matsumoto unpacking the future of tokenized finance.

Sessions like the “Global Stablecoin Race” (featuring Circle, VISA, and Coincheck), and deep dives into AI-enhanced DeFi and Web3 identity compliance with Interpol and Chainalysis, offer both strategic insight and regulatory foresight.

Meanwhile, verticals like GameFi are also under the microscope, with Yat Siu and Sebastien Borget detailing how token economics are evolving post-hype cycle.

If You Build, Invest, or Ship: Be in Tokyo

With key players from Ethereum, Tezos, Chainlink, Fireblocks, Solana, and Sony Bank onstage and decision-makers from Japan’s government in attendance: WebX 2025 is more than just a conference.

It’s where multi-billion dollar narratives are being formed, where institutional buy-in meets on-chain innovation, and where early signals for the next cycle are easiest to spot  if you’re in the room.
