We are excited to announce that Fireblocks has strengthened its presence in the Asia-Pacific region by establishing a regional office in Tokyo, Japan.
Bringing security & innovation to digital asset businesses
Japan is rapidly emerging as a leader in institutional blockchain adoption, driving Fireblocks to further grow its presence by providing secure and innovative digital asset solutions to support this development. As one of the only Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA)-approved cold wallet providers offering Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Hardware Security Module (HSM) solutions, Fireblocks is doubling down on localization to deliver its globally renowned security and innovation to Japanese businesses.
With Japan’s cryptocurrency market projected to grow by 54% from 2024 to 2032, the establishment of Fireblocks’ Japan office positions the company to lead the next wave of digital transformation in Asia and capture the growing appetite for digital assets.
Powering the biggest Web3 players
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.
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.”
