WebX 2025, Asia’s largest global Web3 conference, will take place on August 25-26 at The Prince Park Tower Tokyo. UPCX, an open-source platform focused on blockchain payments and financial services, has been officially confirmed as the title sponsor.

The event is expected to attract over 20,000 attendees, bringing together global industry leaders, developers, investors, and KOLs to explore crypto assets, blockchain, and other Web3 technologies.
