B Dash Ventures and Hashed Announce Return of Blockchain Leaders Summit Tokyo 2025

[PRESS RELEASE – Tokyo, Japan, March 26th, 2025]

Global blockchain investment firm Hashed and Japenese venture capital B Dash Ventures Inc. announced that they will co-host the second edition of the premier private crypto event, Blockchain Leaders Summit Tokyo (BLS Tokyo) 2025, on August 27, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan.

Following the success of BLS Tokyo 2024 last year, the summit will again bring together top blockchain leaders from Japan and across the globe to foster collaboration and discuss the future of the industry. As Japan continues to emerge as a major Web3 hub, the event will serve as a vital platform for connecting the country’s blockchain ecosystem with international players.

BLS Tokyo 2025 seeks to strengthen the Japan-centered Web3 community, acting as a bridge between global blockchain innovators and Japan’s blockchain industry. Japan’s institutional and governmental stakeholders are increasingly engaged in the blockchain sector, and the country’s strong intellectual property and content industries present significant synergies with blockchain technology. Leveraging these strengths, the summit aims to further develop the global blockchain ecosystem.

This year’s summit will feature sessions on regulation, IP, stablecoins, AI, and Real-World Assets (RWA), providing participants with insights into Japan’s blockchain market and offering Japanese stakeholders an international perspective. In addition to high-level networking, the event will introduce booth exhibitions and network matchmaking opportunities for an engaging and dynamic experience.

“Last year’s inaugural summit demonstrated the strong enthusiasm from both Japanese industry leaders and global Web3 builders toward Japan’s blockchain market,” commented Simon Seojoon Kim, CEO of Hashed. “This year, we look forward to expanding collaboration between the global community and the Japanese market, fostering the sustainable growth of the Asian blockchain industry.”

Last year’s BLS Tokyo 2024 featured over 50 key Web3 speakers, 300 prominent Japanese government and institutional representatives, and top blockchain leaders from around the world. The successful summit solidified its reputation as a premier industry gathering in Japan and the greater APAC region.

“In Japan, interest in blockchain-based businesses is growing more than ever, driven by expectations for the launch of stablecoins and regulatory reforms, including taxation,” added Ryuichi Nishida, Director at B Dash Ventures. “Japan has been proactive in establishing legal frameworks, and we hope that through this event, Japanese companies operating within that framework will connect with globally active projects leading in technology and new products, fostering the creation of new business opportunities.”
