■ -season2- Message for the second event

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Web3 has gone through a period of disillusionment due to excessive expectations and is now moving into the implementation phase.

While technology-driven projects are retreating, NFT projects that pursue customer value continue to grow, security tokens are steadily penetrating the financial infrastructure, and stablecoins are quietly beginning to integrate into our lives, from payments to everyday value exchange.

The question now is not "what can be done" with Web3.

"What needs to be solved?"

At this event, Nomura Securities Web3 Pocket Campus will interview major companies to reveal the turning points between success and failure, the forefront of the security token market, and the future direction of finance and life after 2025.

The age of illusion is over. What is needed now is practical wisdom from practitioners.
