We’re taking institutional-grade tokenization talks to Korea on 14 April 2025. 

Held in partnership with BTCON, our inaugural MANTRA RWA Summit will bring key players and innovators from traditional finance, policy making, development, and more, all together, all in one place, and all on one day. 

Why South Korea? Why Now?  

When it comes to crypto finance, there’s a revolution underway in South Korea, with RWAs leading the charge. 

Notably South Korea is a country on the fast track due to their integrated financial regulator - the Financial Supervisory Service - planning to legalize Security Token Offering platforms by June 2025. 

It’s a pivotal moment not just for the region, but the wider industry and community. 

Which is why we’re spearheading this summit, and bringing together some of South Korea’s largest traditional institutions, including the National Pension Fund, Korea Investment, NH Securities, and MaeKyung Group. 

We’re excited for the insights, conversation and connection that will come from this one-off occurrence. 

The Agenda? Who’s Attending?

We’ll be covering real world trends, asset infrastructure, policy outlooks, ecosystem updates, stablecoins and more across a variety of firesides and panels. 

With confirmed speakers to date including but in no way limited to; Sergio Mello (Anchorage Digital’s Head of Stablecoins), ​​Youngjae Lee (Mirae Asset Securities’ Digital Asset Task Force), Dong Won Lee (Maeil Broadcasting Network’s CEO), Gabrae Kim (Senior Research Fellow of Korea Capital Market Institute and Committee Member of the Virtual Asset at the Financial Supervisory Service), Jaejin Kim (Executive Vice Chairman of DAXA), Yongsu Nam (Head of ETF Management Division at Korea Investment Management Co.Ltd ), Youngjae Lee (Senior Manager of Digital Asset Task Force at Mirae Asset Securities), Justin Kim (Head of Asia at Ava Labs), Kaitai Chang (COO / Co-Founder, YALA), Doowan Nam (StableLab Co founder), Suhhee Han (Partner Attorney, Yuhan LLC - Head of Digital Asset and Innovation Industry Team), and Jing Xiong (CBO of Solv Protocol). 

Notably, DAMAC’s Managing Director of Sales and Development, Amira Sajwani, will be dialing in from the UAE to discuss the group’s recent strategic partnership with MANTRA, and current operations tokenizing over US$1 billion of real-world assets (RWAs) across real estate, hospitality, data centers, and other critical sectors. 

As we’ve shared previously, we believe the adoption of RWAs is one best driven by the collective, and this initiative speaks to that. 

If this is a day you’d like to participate in, either as an attendee, speaker, or active community member in the region, we invite you to reach out to Kate Kim via kate@mantra.finance. You can also register here. 

See you in Seoul.
