Q&A Interview

Ms. Tien Le: Looking ahead, how do you see tokenization and Web3 evolving in the future?

Mr. Fujiwara: I believe that without the widespread adoption of crypto assets and cryptocurrencies, the Web3 world cannot truly expand. Our current focus is on building digital certificate infrastructure to ensure transparent and reliable transactions. Once that foundation is established, we expect to see the rise of real-world asset tokenization – where physical assets are digitized and traded.

Ms. Tien Le: Can you share a concrete use case where TOPPAN Group’s technology has been applied in blockchain certification?

Mr. Fujiwara: We have a case study of issuing a digital certificate for a Japanese product, conducted with the assumption of using a blockchain. We support a well-known Japanese spirits company to issue a “digital purchase certificate” to purchasers of its limited-edition premium product. However, we don’t directly manage blockchain ourselves. Instead, we collaborate with blockchain-specialized companies to deliver such solutions. Blockchain is a complex concept, so partnerships are essential.

Ms. Tien Le: Many students and young professionals are entering the Web3 space. What advice would you give them?

Mr. Fujiwara: Don’t try to do everything alone. It’s important to discuss ideas with others, collaborate, and shape the future together. For students, this approach makes it easier and more engaging to enter the Web3 world.

Ms. Tien Le: Thank you for joining the interview with us
