Encouraging cross-cultural innovation while navigating regulatory complexities to advance blockchain adoption across diverse Asian markets Kryptoplanet , the leading blockchain community-building team in South Korea, has announced the sixth edition of BUIDL Asia Week, set to take place from 10 to 16 April 2025. While 2025 has already seen significant Web3 developments globally—from the United States’ plans to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve to unprecedented cryptocurrency market valuations—the regional dynamics across Asia reveal a more textured reality. As Western regulatory frameworks gradually adapt to digital assets, Asian nations are taking a different approach toward blockchain integration, balancing innovation with varying degrees of regulatory caution. “The relationship between Asia’s diverse markets and Web3 technologies cannot be reduced to simple narratives of adoption or resistance,” said Erica Kang , CEO and Founder of Kryptoplanet . “Through BUIDL Asia and ETH Seoul, we’re creating spaces where global and local perspectives can engage in meaningful dialogue, acknowledging both the transformative potential and implementation challenges that blockchain technologies present across different societal contexts.” South Korea exemplifies this nuanced approach, where consumer enthusiasm for technological adoption intersects with governmental oversight. The country’s exploration of blockchain applications extends beyond speculative investment into practical realms—blockchain gaming ecosystems evolve alongside experimental tourism initiatives such as Jeju Island’s NFT tourist card concept. Indigenous platforms like Zepetto, with its established base of 20 million monthly users, represent potential gateways for blockchain technology that respect cultural sensibilities while addressing practical use cases. BUIDL Asia will take place from 15th – 16th April at Signiel Hotel, with keynotes, fireside chats and discussions between projects and thought leaders from across the blockchain spectrum, including Eigenlayer, NEAR Foundation, Noble, Succinct, and Aztec Network. The two-day gathering will explore trending Web3 topics such as: Critical examinations of AI-blockchain integration: promise versus practical limitations Real-world asset tokenisation: balancing innovation with regulatory considerations Zero-knowledge technology’s resurgence: technical advancements and implementation hurdles Asia’s heterogeneous blockchain landscape: contrasting approaches across regulatory environments The speaker lineup for this year includes Zachary Williamson , CEO of Aztec Network ; Uma Roy , Co-Founder and CEO of Succinct ; Robert Drost , CEO and Executive Director of Eigenlayer Foundation ; Pedro Gomes , Founder of WalletConnect; Jelena Djuric , Co-Founder and CEO of Noble ; Ilia Polosukhin , Co-Founder of NEAR Protocol ; Himanshu Tyagi , Co-Founder of Sentient ; Nick White COO of Celestia , and more. BUIDL Asia continues to serve as one of the largest community-led events in Asia where the global blockchain leaders work with local projects, recognizing the region’s potential.
