We are excited to announce that Fireblocks has strengthened its presence in the Asia-Pacific region by establishing a regional office in Tokyo, Japan.

Fireblocks will be bolstering its presence in Japan by hiring best-in-class sales, professional services, and product teams dedicated to delivering bespoke solutions for Japanese enterprises. There is currently a team on the ground with plans to hire more staff in 2025, who will ensure a seamless, bilingual client experience, further underscoring Fireblocks’ commitment to tailoring its offerings for the Japanese market. 

Bringing security & innovation to digital asset businesses

Japan is rapidly emerging as a leader in institutional blockchain adoption, with its cryptocurrency market projected to grow by 54% from 2024 to 2032. This is a key driver for Fireblocks to further expand its presence in the country, by providing secure and innovative digital asset solutions to support this development.

Fireblocks already provides its enterprise-grade wallets to some of the country’s biggest virtual asset exchanges and financial services providers, including offering Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Hardware Security Module (HSM) solutions on the market. By establishing an office in Japan, Fireblocks is doubling down on on-premise safekeeping to deliver its globally renowned security and innovation to Japanese businesses.

Powering the biggest Web3 players

In tandem with its office launch, Fireblocks is driving strategic collaborations with leading financial institutions, non-financial corporates, and Web3 innovators — including Web3 infrastructure development firm Startale Labs, the company behind Astar Network, Soneium, and Startale Cloud; Web3 gaming platform Oasys; and cryptocurrency exchange and trading platform CoinTrade — strengthening its foothold as a key player in the region.

“Japan has a deep legacy of innovation, driven by its culture of excellence, technological prowess, and commitment to quality, which is why it comes as no surprise that it is also at the forefront of Web3 adoption,” said Michael Shaulov, CEO and Co-Founder at Fireblocks. “Establishing an office in Japan allows us to hone in on the specific requirements of the market and ensure Japanese enterprises harness the full potential of blockchain technology in a secure and scalable way.”
