Genki Oda
Japan Virtual and Crypto assets Exchange Association
Chairman
In 2016, I established BITPONT, a cryptocurrency exchange, and took on the role of CEO. I serve as a director of JCBA, Japan's largest cryptocurrency and blockchain association, and as the chairman of JVCEA, a certified self-regulatory organization.
I have been collaborating with the Japanese government and the Financial Services Agency to reform regulations related to cryptocurrency in Japan, achieving significant improvements in cryptocurrency review processes, implementing the "travel rule", among other successes. Currently, I am working on revisions to the leverage rules.
In 2019, I was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and I am globally promoting the potential of Web3.
