Andrew Durgee, Co-CEO of Republic, argues that institutional adoption of digital assets accelerated when blockchain technology began delivering on three key requirements: speed, cost, and scale. Combined with a more favorable regulatory environment in the United States, those improvements are helping drive a new wave of participation from traditional financial institutions.

Why Seoul Keeps Showing Up on the Crypto Calendar

Most people think conferences are about the speakers.

The best ones are really about the people in the room.

Anyone can watch a keynote online. What’s harder to replicate is spending three days surrounded by founders, investors, institutions, exchanges, and policymakers who are actively shaping the industry.

That’s one reason KBW continues to attract global attention.

Last year:

📈 14,000+ attendees
🎤 340+ speakers
🤝 110+ sponsors

Those numbers matter, but they’re really a reflection of something bigger:

✅ One of the world's most active digital asset markets
✅ Growing institutional participation
✅ Global companies looking to better understand Korea
✅ Decision-makers gathering in one place

In an industry that increasingly operates online, people still invest significant time and resources to meet face-to-face.

That isn't by accident.

The conversations that shape the next phase of the market often start long before they're announced publicly.

What do you think keeps people coming back to crypto events today?

Guy Young argues that truly scalable sources of cash flow remain surprisingly rare in the digital asset industry. Pointing to businesses like Binance, Tether, and the yield generated through derivatives markets, he notes that only a handful of sectors are producing billions of dollars in annualized cash flow despite the industry’s obsession with yield. According to Guy, this disconnect highlights a broader challenge for crypto: while investors continue searching for sustainable returns, there are still relatively few business models generating the kind of consistent cash flows commonly found in traditional financial markets.

Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, argues that most of the world’s biggest brands have been built around a largely transactional relationship: companies create products, consumers buy them, and a small percentage become loyal fans. Pointing to brands like Disney, Pixar, Warner Bros., and Sanrio, he explains how Pudgy Penguins is working to rethink that model by building deeper connections between brands and communities. According to Luca, the next generation of consumer brands will be defined not just by the products they sell, but by the sense of ownership, participation, and community they create around them.

Bo Hines, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, believes the stablecoin market is only at the beginning of its growth trajectory. Referencing projections from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that stablecoins could exceed $1 trillion in market value within the next few years, Bo argues the opportunity may be even larger as tokenization expands across traditional financial assets. According to him, dollar-backed stablecoins will serve as the primary on and off ramp for tokenized securities, positioning them as a foundational piece of the next generation of financial infrastructure.

Charles Hoskinson, Founder of Cardano, argues that the true value of blockchain technology extends far beyond token prices and market cycles. He believes the industry’s greatest contribution is its ability to give people new tools for organizing economic, political, and social systems, enabling communities to build toward their own vision of the future. According to Charles, cryptocurrencies are most interesting when markets are quiet, because that’s when builders focus on solving real problems and creating the infrastructure that can drive long-term change.
