Japan Signals More Web3 Promotion Policies Are To Come
Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that the country’s annual broad policy outline includes measures that take user protection into account while also improving the environment for utilizing Web3 tokens and revitalizing the content industry.
Kishida made these remarks in a recorded video broadcast at the WebX conference in Tokyo which opened Tuesday, continuing the Liberal Democratic Party’s embrace of Web3.
The country’s leader reiterated that “Web3 is part of the new form of capitalism,” referring to his flagship economic policy intended to drive growth and wealth distribution by focusing on innovation, start-ups and digital transformation.
“A major Japanese company will announce an ambitious large-scale project that will create a valuable economic zone in the metaverse,” Kishida said.
The ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s policy research council chairman Koichi Haguida took to the stage just before Kishida’s speech to lay out the party’s stance towards Web3, saying that even those unfamiliar with the industry should take an “inclusive stance.”
