Web3 Industry Sees Regulatory Shift and Rapid Growth in Japan

According to Foresight News, Sota Watanabe, CEO of Web3 infrastructure company Startale, highlighted significant changes in regulatory interactions at the BITCOIN ASIA 2025 conference. He noted that in the United States, regulators are now engaging directly with the industry, marking a substantial shift from previous practices. In Japan, swift governmental actions have integrated Web3 into national policy, attracting large enterprises to its ecosystem. Watanabe emphasized the need for startups to innovate boldly, as remaining in their comfort zones will not yield the necessary products for the industry.
