A LinkedIn post from Fireblocks describes the company’s third consecutive “Meet the CEO” event in Tokyo, which gathered more than 130 leaders from Japan’s financial and digital asset sectors at the Ritz-Carlton. The post portrays the event as focused on moving from digital asset strategy to building production-grade infrastructure for stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and on-chain finance.

According to the post, CEO Michael Shaulov framed the market around three “waves”: crypto as the base for global liquidity, stablecoins as the driver of on-chain payments, and RWA tokenization as the extension of this infrastructure into securities, treasuries, and funds. The post cites market data indicating that stablecoin market size has grown from $150 billion to $310 billion over 12 months, with monthly transaction volumes reportedly rising from $1.2 trillion to $2.5 trillion.
The LinkedIn content also highlights Japan’s role, noting that on-chain value received in the country has increased 120% year over year, placing it among the faster-growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Two panels are described: one on on-chain finance and RWA in practice featuring executives from SMFG and Mitsui & Co., and another on blockchain monetization in Japan and globally, including participants from AltX Research and the Solana Foundation.
For investors, the post suggests that Fireblocks is positioning itself as a key infrastructure provider at the intersection of stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and institutional on-chain finance, with a particular emphasis on the Japanese market. If this positioning translates into deeper relationships with major financial institutions and increased adoption of Fireblocks’ platform, it could support long-term revenue growth and reinforce the firm’s competitive standing in institutional digital asset infrastructure.
The focus on stablecoin and RWA transaction growth, as presented in the post, points to a potentially expanding addressable market for custody, settlement, and compliance-ready digital asset solutions. However, actual financial impact will depend on Fireblocks’ ability to convert interest from large incumbents into scaled, recurring commercial deployments, as well as on regulatory developments affecting stablecoins and tokenized securities in Japan and other key jurisdictions.
