Japan crypto sector expansion

Entities: Sanae Takaichi · Katayama Satsuki · gumi Inc. · SBI Holdings · WebX conference

Overview

In early July 2026, Japan signaled a push to accelerate Web3 growth, noting plans for startup funding and stablecoin integration. By the end of the month, the effort materialised with the launch of a 3 billion‑yen institutional crypto fund jointly created by gumi Inc. and SBI Holdings, backed by major banks, and the conclusion of the fourth WebX conference in Tokyo that gathered thousands of participants and high‑level officials to discuss yen‑stablecoins, tokenisation and broader institutional adoption. The sequence shows Japan moving from broad policy intent to concrete financing structures and public promotion of its digital‑asset ecosystem.
