SEOUL — Crypto industry executives and regulators are converging on Korea Blockchain Week 2026 as institutional capital continues to flow into digital asset ETFs at scale.
Ether ETFs led inflows with $11 million on the day, extending a 12-day streak of consecutive additions. XRP funds pulled in $14 million, Solana secured $10 million, and Hyperliquid (HYPE) captured nearly $2 million—a combined $37 million across the four products signaling sustained institutional appetite for both established protocols and emerging Layer 1 solutions.
The Seoul event zeroes in on regulators, retail platforms, and cross-border payment infrastructure—the pieces needed to move digital assets from trading venues into mainstream finance. It runs alongside the Digital Asset Summit Asia in Singapore, both tracking the region's accelerating crypto adoption.
Bitcoin is trading at $83,957, up 0.2 percent in 24 hours. Ethereum sits at $2,687, up 0.3 percent. The price action comes as policymakers and builders are actively in dialogue—the SEC and Congressional leaders are scheduled to appear at the Policy & Regulation DC summit alongside industry counsel, underscoring the ongoing push to align innovation with oversight.
