Kyoto, Japan — July 2, 2025 — IVC Summit 2025 brought together over 400 attendees from Japan’s tech, entertainment, gaming, and finance industries for a high-energy day of insight, innovation, and collaboration. Hosted in the cultural heart of Kyoto, the summit explored how Web3, AI, and fandom-driven ecosystems are reshaping the digital economy.
Featuring seven deep-dive panels by speakers from Square Enix, Sega, Shueisha, Sony Group, Konami, Japan Financial Services Agency and IVC portfolios—Aethir, Delabs, CARV, MOVE AI, AKA Virtual, GAIB, and JPYC. The event highlighted Asia’s emergence as a key driver in a new digital paradigm—where utility and decentralization meet to create global impact.
Highlight Insight: Web3 Matures at the Intersection of Utility and Creativity
At IVC Summit 2025, a common theme emerged across discussions: Web3 is evolving—shifting from its early focus on infrastructure and speculation toward more tangible use cases and creative integration.
Speakers across sectors echoed a shared belief: the future of Web3 lies in practical value, user-first experiences, and interoperable ecosystems. Whether in gaming, finance, or entertainment, the focus has shifted from “what can be built” to “what actually works”—and why it matters.
This evolution is especially visible in digital entertainment such as gaming and IP building. Web3-native titles are moving away from gimmicks and toward long-term engagement—leveraging mobile-first design, AI-enhanced production, and strong community loops. In parallel, IP owners are exploring how blockchain tools can support storytelling, not disrupt it—through shared ownership models, co-creation incentives, and better fan alignment.
AI’s role was another key thread. Rather than replacing human creativity, AI is becoming an accelerant—making content creation faster, more affordable, and more accessible to small teams and indie creators. Combined with decentralized infrastructure, this opens new doors for innovation at scale.
Meanwhile, Japan’s regulatory clarity—especially around stablecoins—is creating fertile ground for compliant experimentation. Rather than slowing innovation, structure is enabling it, offering a rare balance between legal integrity and technological ambition.
Across all conversations, community emerged as the real driver of success. From fan-led governance to decentralized economies, the power dynamics are shifting—turning audiences into stakeholders, and platforms into collaborative ecosystems.
As Asia embraces this shift with speed and nuance, the next chapter of the internet will be built by those who can bridge utility with meaning, and infrastructure with imagination.
