Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), organized by FactBlock, has unveiled the theme and title sponsors for its 2025 conference, taking place this September in Seoul. The event promises to be a convergence of regulation, AI, and digital assets, bringing together policymakers, technologists, and financial institutions from across the globe.

For the first time, senior officials from Washington, D.C., including White House representatives, will participate, underscoring Seoul’s emerging role as a bridge between U.S. regulatory frameworks and Asia’s fast-growing blockchain and AI ecosystems. Featured speakers such as Donald Trump Jr. and Bo Hines further signal the global prominence of the event.

Institutional Adoption and Regulatory Focus

KBW 2025 will focus on the rise of institutional participation in digital assets and the emergence of new frameworks like Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). Banks, stablecoin issuers, protocols, and regulators will explore how these frameworks are reshaping market infrastructure, compliance, and cross-border capital flows. The conference aims to provide a platform where traditional finance meets decentralized systems, promoting actionable dialogue.

AI Meets Blockchain

Beyond institutional and regulatory discussions, KBW 2025 highlights the growing convergence of AI and blockchain technologies. Attendees will examine how innovations in capital, code, and governance are advancing together, signaling broader structural shifts in the digital asset ecosystem.

Sponsors and Global Impact

This year’s title sponsors—including American BTC, Peaq, Hack VC, Gaia, Spacecoin, DogeOS, ORBT, TON, and TON Strategy—reflect the spectrum of Web3 infrastructure, venture capital, and protocol innovation represented at the conference.

“KBW 2025 arrives at a historic moment for our industry,” said Seonik Jeon, CEO of FactBlock. “As digital assets enter a new era of institutional engagement and regulatory scrutiny, Seoul provides the perfect venue to unite Washington policymakers with innovators from across Asia. KBW is where policy meets technology and ideas translate into action.”

Since its inception, KBW has grown into one of the world’s premier Web3 conferences, serving as a hub for builders, regulators, and institutions. The 2025 edition reinforces Korea’s role as a key player in digital asset adoption, while highlighting the evolving global landscape for finance and technology.
