조선일보
“The Korea Blockchain Week, Asia’s largest blockchain event, kicked off on the 7th, bringing together over 7,000 industry and technology professionals. Notably, 40% of the attendees were international participants from countries such as the U.S., Singapore, Hong Kong, and India. They highlighted Korea as an attractive market, citing its abundance of top-tier game companies and skilled developers.”
Maeil Business Newspaper
“With top-tier speakers leading the industry at the forefront of Web3, this event offers a unique opportunity to gain the earliest and most in-depth understanding of the latest trends in the blockchain industry.”
The Street
“KBW provides participants and attendees exclusive opportunities to exchange industry insights and indulge in an immersive blend of music, art, and culture, making KBW a unique and enriching experience for all involved.”
Yahoo Finance
“As Korea rises as the Web3 capital, Korea Blockchain Week 2024 sets out as the platform to navigate the action-packed market, as well as the confluence of Web3 innovations and institutional capital.”
Hackernoon
“Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) 2024 has firmly established itself as one of the most significant events in the global blockchain calendar, bringing together leading innovators, experts, and enthusiasts from around the world.”
Business Insider
“It is highly significant that KBW has added speakers who can shed light on both the past and present of the blockchain industry, as well as AI leaders driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
New York Times
“Korea Blockchain Week opened this weekend with more than 7,000 people registered to attend and over 120 speakers on the lineup. According to the event’s chief executive officer, Jeon Seon-ik, this year’s event was one of the largest of its kind in Asia, if not the world.”
Forbes
“Korea is also the home of some of Asia's most prominent blockchain startups. Our goal is to create a community where people can support each other and create incredible opportunities through Korea as the blockchain hub of Asia. Regardless of the current bear market, the ecosystem has grown exponentially and KBW will be a cornerstone of the next big wave of the blockchain industry.”
The Block
“Now in its eighth year, KBW has become a critical platform for dialogue on blockchain’s most pressing topics, including AI integration, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, L1/L2 scalability, and the intersection of geopolitics and Web3. In 2024, more than 66% of attendees were based in Korea, underscoring the country’s pivotal role in shaping the region’s blockchain narrative.”
Binance
“For anyone involved in the world of blockchain, crypto, and decentralized finance, KBW 2025 is a must-attend event. Whether you're an investor, developer, or enthusiast, this event will provide you with the opportunity to network with top players in the industry, learn about the latest technological advancements, and see firsthand how leading projects like Plume are shaping the future of finance.”

“The intersection between the crypto industry and broader culture was reflected at Korea Blockchain Week, with k-pop stars, sports players, and others (including the directors of KPop Demon Hunters) attending events. Relative to other conferences, there were also lots of local attendees — not just the traveling crypto community attending conferences — at KBW2025.”
Bloomberg
"This time, all the popular international projects came, from the Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial, to decentralized finance darling Hyperliquid. South Korean politicians were engaging in digital-asset-related conversations publicly, just like key figures from the administration of US President Donald Trump. Celebrities ranging from crypto badboy and Trump pardonee Arthur Hayes to former NBA star Tristan Thompson enthralled the Korean audience."
