Edaily’s 2026 Digital Asset Forum, scheduled for April 23 in Seoul at the Korea Exchange International Conference Hall, will examine how tokenizing all asset classes, including STOs and real-world asset-backed securities (RWA), could reshape the blockchain landscape. The event is expected to spotlight won-denominated stablecoins and their potential across tokenized assets and payments, signaling a possible shift in market dynamics as these technologies mature. Attendees anticipate meaningful changes in the industry structure driven by asset tokenization.
Prominent speakers include Mike Belsi, CEO of BitGo, and Noritaka Okabe, head of JPYC, Japan’s first Yen stablecoin issuer; Chris In, founder and CEO of Plum Network; and David Kostiner, founder and Chief IP Officer of Ariaprotocol. Domestic participants from Hana Bank, Hashed Open Finance, Kyobo Securities, Musicow, Finger and Microcredit Chain, and the film industry figure Yang Woo-seok are set to discuss Korea’s STO and RWA growth potential, collaborations around local IP, and how regulatory developments may shape the market. The assembled lineup signals a strong push toward domestic and international partnerships in the evolving asset-tokenization ecosystem.
The forum aims to provide early insights into the evolving digital asset market amid ongoing legislative changes in Korea, offering a glimpse into nascent industries poised to disrupt traditional finance. Registration is open through Edaily’s Digital Asset Forum website.
