FactBlock CEO Andrew Park joins David Sencil to discuss how Korea Blockchain Week has evolved and why KBW 2026 is leaning further into institutions, policy, real-world assets, stablecoins, tokenized equities, and B2B dealmaking.
Park shares how KBW grew from a 400-person event in 2018 into one of Asia’s major crypto gatherings, and why this year’s event is introducing an Upbit Institutional Day as institutional participation becomes a bigger part of Korea’s digital asset landscape.
The conversation also explores how Seoul itself becomes part of the KBW experience through side events, meetings, networking, and Korean culture.
Topics include:
- How Korea Blockchain Week has evolved since 2018
- Why KBW 2026 is becoming more institutional
- The launch of Upbit Institutional Day
- RWAs, stablecoins, and tokenized equities
- Korea’s growing B2B crypto opportunity
- Why business cards still matter in Korea
- Tips for first-time KBW attendees
- How FactBlock measures the long-term impact of KBW
Park also explains why the real success of Korea Blockchain Week goes beyond attendance numbers and comes down to the partnerships, deals, and collaborations that continue after the event.
