TechFlow News, February 12: According to CoinPost, Sohta Watanabe, CEO of Japanese blockchain technology development company Startale Group, stated at the “Ethereum Shift 2026” event that full tokenization of assets—not just cryptocurrencies—is key to future development. He noted that Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade will reduce transaction costs to one-tenth of current levels, and its security advantages make it the preferred choice for financial infrastructure. Watanabe analyzed three generations of crypto assets: Bitcoin as “digital gold” (first generation), Ethereum as a foundational platform akin to Linux (second generation), and the current third generation—where enterprises are building their own Layer-2 or Layer-1 solutions. He believes the U.S. is advancing asset tokenization in financial markets, enabling 24/7 trading of stocks, real estate, and other assets with instant stablecoin settlement; Japan, however, lags behind the U.S. by approximately four years in this area.
