What is WebX 2026?

WebX is one of Japan's largest Web3 conferences organized by CoinPost, a leading media outlet in the crypto space. It will convene a diverse audience including local and international businesses, entrepreneurs, developers, investors, and government officials to explore various topics related to next-generation financial spheres such as cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, stablecoins, AIs, and DeFi. This year's conference is particularly important due to the increasing interest in digital assets beyond mere investment vehicles to encompass payment solutions, business activities and more.

Background of the Session Participation

The growing interest in utilizing cryptocurrencies encompasses a wide array of aspects beyond Bitcoin trading. In addition to stablecoins, RWA, and tokenized assets, a broader focus on corporate crypto asset services emerges. The critical theme evolving in the crypto market explores how these assets can transcend being mere investment tools, turning instead into infrastructures that facilitate payments, remittances, and business operations.

Nevertheless, there are significant challenges that need addressing for the wider use of crypto asset payments. These include issues related to transaction speed, fees, user experience, regulatory compliance, and implementation burdens for businesses, all while ensuring consumer protection. UPCX aims to tackle these challenges by creating a more seamless and practical payment experience, seeking to redefine how payments are integrated into everyday life and business practices.

As a registered crypto asset exchange, Bittrade has committed to providing services while ensuring compliance with regulations, prioritizing security and user protection. Through collaborations with Web3 projects and stakeholders in next-generation financial sectors, Bittrade actively drives societal implementations of crypto and blockchain technologies.

Through participation in the UPCX session and by engaging with attendees at the UPCX booth, Bittrade aims to deepen the understanding of UPCX's vision for payment infrastructure and its initiatives within the Japanese market. This platform will allow discussions on the future of crypto asset payments to flourish.

Comments from CEO Seki Rai

He emphasized that for the cryptocurrency market to evolve healthily, it is crucial to expand use cases rooted in real-world utility, such as payments and remittances, rather than merely focusing on trading conveniences.

Rai believes that UPCX's approach titled 'Beyond Payments' offers vital insights into making crypto and blockchain technologies more accessible and practical for everyday financial and payment transactions. He expressed hope to exchange ideas with as many attendees as possible about UPCX's initiatives and the scope of crypto asset payments.
