About this session
Japan is at the forefront of bridging traditional finance with the digital asset revolution. As regulatory clarity takes shape, financial institutions are exploring how to embed blockchain, stablecoins, and tokenized assets into their core offerings. This session maps the strategic roadmap for transforming banking and financial infrastructure in a digital era. Experts will discuss the critical building blocks—from compliance and technology integration to liquidity management and partnerships—driving Japan’s next phase of regulated innovation. Attendees will gain insight into how trusted financial institutions are redefining the boundaries between legacy systems and decentralized networks in pursuit of a more efficient, transparent, and globally connected economy.
日本は、伝統的な金融とデジタル資産をつなぐ分野で最前線に立っています。規制の枠組みが明確になりつつあるなかで、金融機関はブロックチェーン、ステーブルコイン、トークン化資産を自らの主力サービスにどのように組み込むかを模索しています。
本セッションでは、デジタル時代における銀行および金融インフラの変革に向けた戦略的ロードマップを提示します。コンプライアンス、技術統合、流動性管理、パートナーシップといった重要な構成要素について、規制と整合するかたちで日本の次なるイノベーションをどう実現するかを、専門家たちが掘り下げていきます。
参加者は、信頼を基盤とする金融機関が、従来型システムと分散型ネットワークの境界をどのように再定義し、より効率的で透明性が高く、グローバルにつながる経済の実現を目指しているのかについて理解を深めることができます。 -
