Japan’s Finance Minister, Katsunobu Kato, said cryptocurrencies can play a role in diversified investment strategies.
Speaking at the Web3 Conference WebX 2025 in Tokyo on Monday, Kato noted that although digital assets are highly volatile, they could become a viable investment choice if the right framework is in place.
“Crypto assets are risky because of their price swings, but with a proper investment environment, they can serve as an option for portfolio diversification,” Kato said, according to Bloomberg Japan.
He added that with the growing number of users, the government will prioritize building a safe and reliable trading environment for cryptocurrencies.
WebX 2025, Asia’s biggest Web3 conference, will take place in Tokyo on August 25–26, 2025, featuring more than 240 speakers.
The event, hosted by CoinPost, Japan’s leading crypto and Web3 media platform, will be held at the Prince Park Tower Tokyo. Organizers expect around 20,000 attendees from over 88 countries.
