Korea Blockchain Week

About the event

Korea Blockchain Week is the gateway to Korean retail and the exchange ecosystem, with Upbit as main sponsor for 2026. The IMPACT conference forms the core, wrapped in a full week of side events, exchange briefings and investor dinners across Gangnam and Yeouido. Korea is one of the highest-velocity retail markets in the world, and attention there moves through local creators rather than English crypto Twitter, which is why KBW pairs so well with Korean KOL campaigns. The programme leans on digital assets, institutional finance, AI integration and gaming. For teams targeting East Asian trading audiences, listing desks or local media in a single week, this is the most efficient stop on the calendar. Book hotels early: Gangnam inventory prices up sharply and the good side-event venues go months in advance.
