IOST Showcases RWA Vision and Global Ambition at WebX 2025

As Japan greenlights its first stablecoin, IOST steps into the spotlight with major sponsorships, new product reveals, and growing momentum in the RWA space.

Just ahead of the event, Japan’s first stablecoin was officially approved, accelerating local adoption and drawing renewed global attention to the region’s maturing Web3 landscape. Against this backdrop, WebX 2025 opened with keynote speeches from some of the most influential voices in the space, including the Prime Minister of Japan, the Chairman of SBI Holdings, and Binance’s CZ. The event attracted a diverse crowd of participants from across Japan and the international crypto community.

IOST at WebX: Gold Sponsor, Ecosystem Leader

For the third consecutive year, IOST participated as a Gold Sponsor of WebX, showcasing its innovations and growing ecosystem through an engaging booth presence. This year marked a particularly important milestone as IOST officially unveiled its rebrand as an RWA (Real-World Asset) infrastructure.

At the booth, the prototype of the DID Ring — IOST’s decentralized identity solution — was presented publicly for the first time globally. A core engineer behind the DID Ring project also traveled to Japan to personally engage with attendees and discuss the broader vision of RWA and on-chain identity infrastructure.

Platinum Sponsor of the OKJ Crypto Festival

IOST also joined as a Platinum Sponsor of the Crypto Festival by OKJ, a side event inspired by the energy and tradition of a Japanese summer festival. Organized by OKJ, a licensed Japanese crypto exchange, the festival featured nostalgic activities such as water balloon fishing, shooting games, and cotton candy flavors themed around different Web3 protocols — blending culture and crypto in a uniquely immersive format.

At its booth, IOST distributed exclusive, event-only merchandise, connecting with the community through fun, memorable interactions that reflected the spirit of the event.

Silver Sponsor at the Blockchain Leaders Summit

IOST further solidified its presence by joining as a Silver Sponsor at the Blockchain Leaders Summit TOKYO, co-hosted by HASHED, South Korea’s leading Web3 venture capital firm, and B Dash Ventures, a top-tier Japanese VC. The summit brought together regulatory leaders and high-potential projects, with speakers including a JFSA officer and other key regulators from Japan and the United States.

Blake’s Speech: IOST’s Longevity and RWA Advantage

IOST CEO Blake took the stage during the sponsored events to reflect on IOST’s seven-year journey, emphasizing the platform’s resilience in one of the most competitive markets in the world. He shared how IOST’s shift toward RWA infrastructure positions it for long-term relevance, scalability, and real-world impact in the blockchain ecosystem.

Looking Ahead

Throughout WebX, IOST showcased its leadership in RWA, met with numerous potential partners, and laid the groundwork for expanding its ecosystem within Japan and beyond. The connections made and conversations held during the event underscore IOST’s commitment to sustainable growth and real-world asset integration in the Web3 era.

With regulatory clarity improving in Japan and interest in RWA solutions growing globally, IOST’s presence at WebX 2025 signals a pivotal moment in its evolution — from a high-performance blockchain to a cornerstone of tomorrow’s decentralized financial infrastructure.
