IX Swap’s Rise in South Korea’s RWA Space: A Market Dominated by Keynote Speakerships, Event Sponsorships, and Active Participation.

Why South Korea?

South Korea is rapidly emerging as a global leader in decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The country’s digital asset holdings surged by over 60% in 2022, aligning with the broader trend of blockchain and DeFi markets growing at an annual rate of 30% over the next five years.

The Korean crypto market is thriving, with active users on registered exchanges surpassing 6.45 million by the end of 2023. Notably, in early 2024, the Korean won (KRW) overtook the US dollar (USD) in crypto trading volume, driven by zero-fee policies on Korean exchanges. With over $456 billion in trades, KRW became the most traded fiat currency against cryptocurrencies.

South Korea’s strong financial infrastructure and rapid blockchain adoption position it at the forefront of RWA tokenization. The country’s RWA market is expected to reach $287 billion by 2030, reinforcing its leadership in institutional-grade tokenization and reshaping the future of blockchain investing.

Given this momentum, IXS continues to establish itself as a dominant force in the South Korean RWA space.
