Japan Blockchain Week

​JBW Summit 2026 is a global forum designed to survey the current landscape — where cryptocurrency has evolved beyond mere "trading" into an indispensable asset class embraced by global institutional investors and traditional finance — and to implement the future ahead. Having begun in 2018 as Japan's first NFT conference, this summit now marks another milestone edition. ​Once seen as an antithesis to centralized traditional finance, crypto has now passed through ETF adoption and ascended into the layer of "value storage" and "asset management" integrated into pension funds and 401k plans. At this summit, themed "Back to Roots × Implementing the Future," we redefine the intellectual curiosity and excitement reminiscent of the first time one held Bitcoin.
