Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) in Seoul, South Korea

Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), one of Asia’s leading events in the blockchain and Web3 sectors, has for many years brought together industry participants from diverse global markets. From entrepreneurs and developers to representatives of investment firms, technology companies, financial institutions, and infrastructure providers, stakeholders across various domains converge in Seoul throughout the week.

For enterprises seeking to gain insights into the Korean market, expand their Asian footprint, or explore opportunities for international collaboration, KBW is not merely an industry conference—it also serves as a vital window into Korea’s thriving Web3 and broader tech ecosystem.

The Korean market is entering a new phase of development. As one of Asia’s key hubs for technological innovation and digital transformation, Korea boasts a well-established industrial foundation in areas such as blockchain, Web3, fintech, and digital applications.

In recent years, with the continuous refinement of relevant policy frameworks, the focus of attention in the Korean market has shifted from early-stage user growth and application exploration toward corporate engagement, technological innovation, financial infrastructure, and compliance-driven progress.

Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), in partnership with Upbit—the country’s leading cryptocurrency platform—will host the Upbit Institutional Summit (UIS), inviting representatives from finance, technology, policy research, and related industries to engage in discussions on topics including digital finance, regulatory environments, capital markets, and industry infrastructure.
