Starting in 2026, the invitation-only crypto networking event “X to the Future” will officially launch.
This event is a strictly invite-only gathering for leaders across Japan’s crypto ecosystem, including founders, investors, and developers. By deliberately avoiding a traditional stage format, it prioritises candid, high-signal dialogue and the formation of meaningful, practical connections.
X to the Future will continue as a recurring series to become one of the key hubs within Japan’s crypto KOL network. Please stay tuned for future developments.
