WebX 2026, a major Web3 conference held annually in Tokyo,, will return to Tokyo on July 13–14, 2026 at The Prince Park Tower Tokyo, convening global decision-makers to explore the next phase of digital and financial innovation. Last year, WebX welcomed more than 14,000 attendees and hosted over 170 side events across the city. 

Planned and operated by CoinPost, WebX has established itself as a key platform for connecting industry leaders, investors and policymakers to advance collaboration across the digital asset and technology ecosystem. The two-day program, under the theme of “Connecting the Nodes Beyond the Screen,” will feature keynote sessions, panel discussions, exhibitions and curated networking opportunities designed to support meaningful partnerships and long-term industry development. 

Supporting Japan’s Long-Term Digital Transformation Agenda 

The 2026 edition arrives at a pivotal moment for Japan’s technology and financial landscape. Recent regulatory developments, including the classification of crypto assets as financial instruments, signal a maturing market environment that strengthens investor confidence while reinforcing standards for fairness, transparency and consumer protection. 

“Japan has taken deliberate steps in recent years to advance its digital transformation strategy,” said Ryo Sakai, CEO of WebX. “We are now entering a period where regulatory clarity is expected to unlock greater institutional participation and expand access to new sources of growth capital. In this environment, WebX is evolving beyond a conference into a platform where industry, policymakers, and investors can come together to shape the next phase of responsible innovation.”

With a more defined regulatory framework in place, WebX 2026 will provide a timely forum for stakeholders to engage in practical discussions on scaling infrastructure, strengthening governance, and supporting sustainable market growth. 

“As the ecosystem matures, the conversation is shifting from early experimentation toward long-term infrastructure and market stability, and these themes will be central to the 2026 program,” added Sakai.

WebX 2026 will welcome a diverse audience of executives, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and technology leaders from Japan and around the world.
