Our CEO, Yuki Kishi, will speak at the Ethereum Institutional Summit 2026 in Tokyo on September 25, 2026. Hosted by Fracton Ventures as a curated event of ETHTokyo Week 2026, the one-day, invitation-only summit brings together global institutional investors, Japanese financial institutions, and the founders and researchers shaping the institutional layer of Ethereum.
Yuki joins the program as Country Manager, Japan for Bitmine and MAVAN. Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE American: BMNR) holds one of the world's largest corporate Ethereum treasuries, and MAVAN is its institutional-grade Ethereum staking platform.
About the summit
The agenda is built around four pillars: stablecoins and privacy, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, onchain treasury operations, and institutional DeFi. Sessions include listed-company ETH treasuries, JPY stablecoins, ETH ETFs, staking and custody, and a comparison of regulatory approaches across jurisdictions.
The speaker lineup spans Japanese financial institutions such as Nomura Holdings, Seven Bank, and Minna Bank, alongside Ethereum ecosystem leaders from MetaMask, Optimism, and others. Attendance is capped at 300 seats, with applications reviewed individually by the organizer.
Details of Yuki's session will be shared closer to the date. Event information: eis.fracton.ventures.
Why this matters for our clients
Japan's institutional interest in digital assets is moving from pilots to balance-sheet decisions: listed companies holding ETH, banks exploring JPY stablecoins, and regulators refining the framework around custody and staking. The conversations at this summit are the conversations our clients need to be part of.
Yuki's role with Bitmine and MAVAN reflects the model YKBridge offers every client: a senior, bilingual country lead embedded in a global team, opening doors to Japanese institutions and regulators before a full-time hire is justified.
If you will be in Tokyo for ETHTokyo Week, or are evaluating Japan for a digital-asset or fintech business, get in touch. We would be glad to meet.
