[BSPI x CryptoBase Joint Project No.10] Thinking about the trajectory of Web3 policy so far and its future development with Mr. Hideto Kawasaki, a member of the House of Representatives of the LDP Web3 PT.

In the current Web3 industry, long considered a crypto-winter, the policies of the Japanese government and the LDP’s Web3PT have attracted worldwide attention.From the MtGox case in 2014 to the FTX case last year, Japan has been working to improve its legislation on crypto assets and other issues. The Japanese government has introduced stricter regulations than other countries, with consumer protection as the first priority, fair market formation as the second consideration, and AML/CFT and other countermeasures as the third. Japan, which has been on the defensive, is about to go on the offensive in the Web3 world.

　The LDP Web3 PT (initially NFTPT, within the Headquarters for the Promotion of Digital Society) was established in 2021. Initially located within the Headquarters for the Promotion of Digital Society as NFTPT, it has made policy recommendations on Web3 in various forms, including crypto assets, NFT, DAO, and taxation, and published two white papers in the past 18 months. By submitting these recommendations to the Japanese government, and actually leading to legislation and tax reform, we have established a foundation for the Web3 industry in Japan.

This time, we invited a member of the Web3PT from its early days, Mr. Hideto Kawasaki, a member of the House of Representatives, to talk about the process of discussions and white paper preparation at the Web3PT, how politicians are taking the initiative in proposing new policies together with experts in a timely manner, instead of the conventional bureaucrat-led policies, and what the results of these proposals have been. The presentation will also showcase the results of these efforts. We will also invite Mr. Yudai Suzuki, the representative of Fracton Ventures, which organizes “DAOTokyo” attended by many overseas DAO players and operates an incubation business for Web3 companies. He will talk about the actual situation of DAOs overseas, the impact of DAOs in countries where laws have been established, and the domestic legislation of DAOs, which is also being discussed at the Web3PT.

　Mr. Kawasaki and Mr. Suzuki will discuss not only Web3 policy, but also the actual process by which various issues become LDP policies and then national policies.

　If you are interested, we would be happy if you could come.
