Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and entertainment to be the leading contributor to Web3 expansion in Korea

Conglomerates such as SK, LG, and Lotte are enhancing the credibility of Web3 technology, leading to overall market growth

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Tiger Research today released its special research report on Korea’s Web3 landscape, titled “Korea Web3 Market Guide.” Authored in collaboration with the founder of the Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), FACTBLOCK, Web3 ecosystem builder, and the co-host, Hashed, Asia’s leading Web3 VC Fund, the report aims to offer a primer for international investors and businesses ahead of KBW, which will be held from September 1-7, 2024.

The report explores key drivers positioning South Korea as a pivotal force in global Web3 evolution. It covers the market’s regulatory, socio-economic, and cultural context, along with 18 Web3 ecosystem components contributing to its vibrant progress.

Key factors driving South Korea’s growth in the Web3 market include:

  • Substantial Trading Volume: Approximately one in ten Koreans (6.45 million users, or 12.5% of the total population) are registered with domestic exchanges This high engagement highlights the country’s strong interest in crypto. Earlier this year, daily crypto trading volume surpassed that of the KOSPI (Korea Composite Stock Price Index), underscoring the strong enthusiasm for crypto.
  • Expansion of Korean IP through RWA: Amid domestic regulatory uncertainty, Korean RWA market participants are increasingly expanding globally. This shift provides international investors access to Korea’s rich intellectual property and high-quality assets. As regulations evolve, the Korean RWA market presents promising long-term investment opportunities.
  • Entertainment and Gaming: Web3 offers new business models for Korean entertainment and gaming companies. Modhaus, a leading example in Web3 popularization, is gaining attention due to growing global interest in K-pop. Likewise, as the fourth-largest gaming market globally, Korea’s gaming ecosystem is at the forefront of Web3 gaming innovation, surpassing international competitors.
  • Large Enterprises Accelerating Investment and Growth: The Web3 market in Korea is distinguished by the active involvement of conglomerates, with over half of the 82 registered ‘large enterprises’ pursuing Web3 initiatives. These investments are significantly accelerating the industry’s growth and maturation.
  • Robust IT infrastructure and skilled workforce: Korea’s advanced technological capabilities and highly skilled talent pool provide a solid foundation for Web3 innovation. The market boasts a high developer-to-population ratio (4%), surpassing Japan (2.63%) and China (0.66%).

Tiger Research stated, “South Korea’s position in the Web3 industry is highly significant. The country ranks among the top globally in terms of cryptocurrency trading volume, with the Korean won rivaling the US dollar in trading volume. While many projects are actively seeking to enter the Korean market, the prevailing perception of Web3 as an industry that requires regulation and oversight has somewhat slowed its growth.”

“This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current Korean Web3 and blockchain market and its future potential,” said Seonik Jeon, CEO of FACTBLOCK. “Since the inception of the Korean Blockchain Week in 2018, FACTBLOCK has dedicated itself to highlighting the importance of the Korean market and fostering global blockchain collaboration. We hope this report will serve as a catalyst for advancing the development of a unified Web3 ecosystem alongside KBW.”

“The report highlights the increasing adoption of Web3 technologies across various sectors in South Korea, including finance, gaming, infrastructure, solutions and entertainment. “The Web3 industry has moved beyond its initial infrastructure phase and is now being creatively applied across various sectors,” said Simon Kim, CEO of Hashed. “Korea Blockchain Week 2024, set against this backdrop of transformation, will provide a crucial overview of the latest trends and innovations in the global Web3 ecosystem.”

For market entry, the report notes that while South Korea has shifted from an outright crypto ban to a focus on investor protection, it maintains stringent standards compared to its global peers. With Web3 promotion being a prominent topic in the political sphere, the report concluded that closely monitoring the regulatory developments and approaching the market from a long-term perspective will be important.

About Korea Blockchain Week

Founded by FACTBLOCK and co-hosted by Hashed, Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) is an annual global blockchain and web3 festival held in Seoul, South Korea, since 2018. It has been a gathering ground for the top global blockchain and web3 leaders and unifying diverse communities.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nobu Bangkok together with Thailand’s leading integrated lifestyle real-estate group Asset World Corporation (AWC), celebrated its grand opening with a sake ceremony, symbolizing good fortune and the beginning of this exciting new chapter. Located on the 57th and 58th floors and rooftop of The Empire at the heart of Bangkok’s CBD, Nobu Bangkok delivers an extraordinary dining experience, blending the luxurious aesthetics of Thai and Japanese design. Conceptualized by the world-renowned Rockwell Group, the restaurant’s design incorporates intricate carvings and golden hues inspired by Thai temples, juxtaposed with the minimalist elegance of Japanese design, creating a truly unique culinary setting

In an ongoing collaboration with Asset World Corporation, luxury lifestyle brand Nobu Hospitality is proud to announce its first service residential project in Thailand—Nobu Residences Bangkok. This exciting development follows the announcements of Nobu Hotel Bangkok and The Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel and Spa Bangkok, as well as the official opening of Nobu Bangkok at The Empire. Together, these ventures reinforce Nobu’s expanding presence in the city. Nobu Residences Bangkok will feature 60 exclusive units, available as part of the hotel’s inventory, rather than for individual sale.

Strategically located near the Chao Phraya River, Nobu Residences Bangkok offers unparalleled access to the best the city has to offer. Available for both short and long-term stays, residents will enjoy world-class amenities, including 24/7 concierge service. Residents can also access the hotel’s premium facilities, such as the Nobu Restaurant, a rooftop bar lounge boasting panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an exclusive residents’ lounge. The residences are designed with Nobu’s signature attention to detail, blending purposeful design with elevated living.

Adding to the significance of the day, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for The Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel and Spa Bangkok at its future location, the East Asiatic Heritage Site. This iconic development will be situated in the historic East Asiatic Company (EAC) building, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. The building, dating back to 1884, was founded by Danish mariner and entrepreneur Captain Hans Niels Andersen. The Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel and Spa Bangkok will be twinned with the Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel & Spa New York, which is currently undergoing renovations to its 145 rooms. Located on 64th Street and Park Avenue in the Upper East Side, New York, this area is renowned for its proximity to Central Park, museums, consulates, and luxury shopping.

Wallapa Traisorat, CEO and President of Asset World Corporation (AWC) commented, “We really appreciate the friendship and partnership we share with the Nobu family and AWC.  The celebration of the grand opening of Nobu Bangkok at ‘EA’ Rooftop at The Empire, the new landmark destination of Thailand, brings great happiness to both Thai and international guests to enjoy contemporary Japanese cuisine crafted by legendary Chef Nobu in a spectacular three-story venue, including the rooftop level with breathtaking views of Bangkok. It reinforces our commitment to making Bangkok a sustainable global destination for world-class food, beverage, and lifestyle experiences.

Additionally, AWC is thrilled to deepen our long-term partnership with Nobu Hospitality through the launch of Nobu Hotel Bangkok, the first Nobu hotel with a residential concept in Thailand. Located near the Chao Phraya River, this development offers guests unparalleled luxury, featuring world-class amenities and services. The groundbreaking ceremony for The Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel and Spa Bangkok at the historic East Asiatic Company building also marks a momentous occasion in our shared journey to create iconic properties that redefine luxury living and enhance Bangkok’s reputation as a premier global destination.”

Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, commented, “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Asset World Corporation and introduce Nobu Residences to Bangkok. With its prime location near the Chao Phraya River, this development offers residents an exceptional lifestyle experience in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. We are excited to operate all elements of the Nobu brand—residences, hotels, and restaurants—in this vibrant market.”
