Key Points
- South Korea announced upcoming 'Three Digital Asset Acts' to balance investor protection with industry innovation

Policy Framework Takes Center Stage
The Global Blockchain Forum — Korea 2025, held at Seoul’s National Assembly Library, marked a significant milestone in Asia’s blockchain regulatory evolution. South Korean Congressman Min Byoung-Dug, in his opening address, positioned blockchain technology as fundamentally reshaping trust systems while emphasizing that the digitization of Real-World Assets (RWA) will become the core of future finance. His proposal of a new “RWA + STO × Stablecoin” model signals a strategic direction for South Korea’s financial future, combining tokenized traditional assets with regulated security token offerings and stable digital currencies.
Most notably, Congressman Min revealed that South Korea is preparing to introduce the “Three Digital Asset Acts,” legislation designed to strike a delicate balance between protecting investors and promoting industrial innovation. This regulatory framework represents a proactive approach to governing the rapidly evolving digital asset space, potentially setting a benchmark for other nations in the region. The forum’s location within the National Assembly Library underscored the seriousness with which South Korean policymakers are treating blockchain’s integration into the mainstream financial system.
Web3 Meets Traditional Finance: Bridging the Gap
The forum provided a platform for detailed discussions on how Web3 technologies can integrate with traditional financial systems. Czhang Lin, head of LBank Labs, identified three primary opportunities for this convergence: crypto ETFs attracting institutional capital, enterprises allocating crypto assets through DAT strategies, and low-cost, transparent SPACs. “The combination of these three can build a bridge for projects to access traditional financial markets,” Lin stated, adding that “outstanding projects in the future will need to fully leverage both exchange and capital market liquidity.”
KIM Hyeong-Joo, Chairman of the Korea Blockchain Industry Promotion Association (KBIPA), emphasized the borderless nature of blockchain business and the critical importance of international cooperation for narrowing developmental gaps. This perspective was reinforced by participation from global Web3 leaders including Ethereum Foundation, Animoca Brands, Solana, Berachain, Abstract, Manta Network, IoTeX, Aethir, and LayerZero, whose representatives shared insights on technological breakthroughs and cross-chain collaboration.
The presence of academic heavyweights like Professor Ryu Hyeuk-sun from KAIST and Professor Han Jung-Wook from Seoul National University added scholarly depth to the discussions, while CodeVASP CEO Lee Sung Mi provided practical perspectives on regulatory compliance and implementation challenges facing the industry.
Technological Innovation and Ecosystem Development
Beyond regulatory discussions, the forum featured extensive technical dialogues on Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, AI integration, and stablecoin development. These conversations moved beyond theoretical concepts to include actionable case studies and forward-looking perspectives from leading technical experts. The participation of foundational blockchain organizations like Ethereum Foundation and emerging Layer 1 platforms such as Solana created a comprehensive picture of the current technological landscape.
As strategic partner, LBank Labs demonstrated its expertise in analyzing market dynamics and trends, positioning itself as a key player in fostering ecosystem development within the Web3 space. With over $100 million in assets under management, LBank Labs’ focus on early-stage investments across compliant blockchain infrastructure, regulated DeFi applications, AI integration, and institutional-grade decentralized solutions aligns with the forum’s emphasis on sustainable growth.
