Story Highlights

  • Seoul’s about to get swarmed by blockchain enthusiasts, AI nerds, and Web3 aficionados from September 22-27. So, yeah, good luck avoiding them!
  • Last year, around 17,000 people showed up. More? Who knows, maybe 30,000 this year? Who’s counting?
  • Seoul’s trying to make itself the epicenter of Web3 innovation. Because, who wouldn’t want to be in Seoul, right?

So, here’s the deal. Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) 2025 is coming back to Seoul, from September 22–27. Yep, the whole thing’s going down at the Walkerhill Hotel & Resort between September 23–24. The same people who brought you Web3 ecosystem-building shenanigans, FACTBLOCK, are running the show. This is where all the “cool” blockchain experts, entrepreneurs, and institutional investors gather to talk about stuff like blockchain, AI, and whatever the latest regulations are.

KBW has been around for a while, and it’s basically turned into the hub for all things blockchain. Last year’s event was a big deal—17,000 people. 2,800 organizations. I mean, sure, that’s impressive, but I’m guessing they’re shooting for even bigger numbers this year. Maybe they’ll hit 20,000? Or 50,000? Maybe the world’s largest Web3-related traffic jam, who knows?

They’re talking about *real* serious topics here. Like real-world asset tokenization. Quantum computing’s impact on blockchain security (because that’s always something to lose sleep over). Oh, and don’t forget the thrilling topic of US government regulation changes. It’s like the ultimate nerd convention—except with more people wearing suits and a lot more jargon.

Seonik Jeon, CEO of FACTBLOCK and the founder of KBW, is out here talking about the event’s contribution to Web3’s future. Apparently, we’re going to be discussing AI, decentralized finance, and crypto regulations—like that’s the most riveting stuff in the world. But hey, at least they’re trying to set new “industry benchmarks” with all that “thought leadership.”

Korea Blockchain Week 2025: Web3 Innovation—You Know, Just Another Day in Seoul

And listen to this—KBW is no longer just a bunch of conference talks. It’s a full-blown festival. Hackathons, networking, art displays, cultural events—you name it. KBW2024 had 17,000 attendees, 2,800 organizations, 340 speakers, and 330 side events. That’s a lot. And since 2018, the event’s already hosted over 136,000 visitors. In 2025? Expect it to grow. Just a bit. Maybe like a million attendees. Maybe not. We’ll see.

This year, Seoul’s aiming to become the global Web3 innovation hub. Yeah, that’s right. So get ready for more networking, panel sessions, and—of course—cultural experiences. Because nothing says blockchain like a nice cultural experience. It’s like the place to be for anyone who’s anyone in the blockchain world.

Oh, and for those of you who just *can’t wait* for more details: Keep an eye on the KBW website. They’ll release more info on the agenda, registration, and speakers. Because let’s face it, you’ve probably already set your alarm for that.

Finally, let’s talk about FACTBLOCK for a sec. These guys are behind the whole thing. They’ve been doing their Web3 thing since 2018, advocating for blockchain integrity, international cooperation, and all that good stuff. They’re like the unofficial kings of the blockchain world. Or something like that.
