Hosted the Digital Asset session at the World Knowledge Forum 2026 for the 3rd year in a row!

​This year, we explored how Hong Kong, Lithuania, and Japan are leveraging their national strengths to scale the digital asset ecosystem.

​“How do nations build trust in a new financial industry?”

​Listening to global regulatory updates and industry developments, one key question kept surfacing: How should Korea build its digital competitiveness?

Comparing us to global peers, it’s clear that the absence of a comprehensive Digital Asset Framework lies at the root of our local market challenges.

​A standout moment came from SBI Holdings’ Mamoru Fujimoto, who made an unscripted yet powerful remark:
​"Japan sees Seoul as a key partner. A JPY-KRW corridor could become Asia's first landmark stablecoin route."

​I couldn't agree more, and this is a cross-border collaboration I would love to make happen next year.

​Korea is just getting started. Onward!

Excited to welcome the Ethereum Foundation and Optimism to Korea next week.

On July 21, we’ll be hosting a private policy roundtable with representatives from Korean financial institutions, regulators, legal experts, and policymakers to discuss Ethereum as public digital infrastructure, stablecoins, tokenization, and institutional blockchain adoption.

It’s encouraging to see Ethereum Foundation expanding its policy engagement in Asia, and we’re honored to help facilitate these conversations through the Ethereum Korea Consortium.

Looking forward to welcoming @ethereum @Optimism and everyone joining us in Seoul.

Korea has always been one of the most liquid crypto markets.

What’s changing now is where value is created.

Not in trading, but in infrastructure, coordination, and execution.

Ethereum is where that shift is happening.

Great breakdown from the team 👇

한국은 항상 강한 유동성을 가진 시장이었습니다.

하지만 이제 가치가 만들어지는 위치가 바뀌고 있습니다.

거래가 아니라
인프라, 조정, 실행의 영역으로 이동하고 있습니다.
그 중심에 이더리움이 있습니다.

좋은 정리 감사합니다 👇

It's been a hectic last few weeks visiting Korea, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Bahrain, with more travel coming up. So many updates to share - global interest in stables, rwa asset issuance; global money movement; accessing capital markets on chain is intense.

Here is our MOU signing with Wavebridge from Korea with a commitment to:

- Develop a KRW stablecoin engine with compliance-by-design
- Tokenize MMFs and cash-equivalent products
- Support Korean banks with on-chain settlement and tokenized deposits
- Expand Web3 applications on a regulated foundation

@Excellion @JAN3com Was a great conversation Samson!! :) Please help South Korea not fall too far behind in the digital supremacy war.

[Samson Mow @Excellion]

Today I met with Min Byung-duk 민병덕, a member of the National Assembly of South Korea who proposed the Digital Assets Basic Act this past June and also introduced an amendment to their #Bitcoin spot ETF bill.

We had a great discussion about Bitcoin strategies for Korea and the urgency for national adoption. Also present were reporters from Maekyung and News1. 🍊💊🇰🇷
