Global Experts to Gather at Digital Asset Investment Insight Forum 2026

SEOUL, South Korea — The Digital Asset Investment Insight Forum 2026 (DAIF 2026) is set to take place on July 2 at the Conrad Seoul in Yeouido, bringing together leading voices in the digital asset space to discuss the evolving investment landscape following the recent approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Among the notable speakers is Matthew Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, a prominent U.S. crypto asset manager. Hougan, a former CEO of ETF.com and a recognized strategist in the digital asset arena, will present on the theme, “After Spot Bitcoin ETFs: How to Build Wealth With Digital Assets.” His insights will focus on asset-allocation strategies that leverage digital assets, addressing the pressing question many investors have: “Is it too late to invest in Bitcoin?”

Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, Bitcoin has gained significant traction in mainstream finance, leading to a surge in its price. However, as the market evolves, investors are left pondering the potential for further growth and the next opportunities that lie beyond Bitcoin.

DAIF 2026 aims to provide clarity on these issues, featuring a lineup of global experts who will share their perspectives on investment strategies and trends that are capturing the attention of institutional investors and wealth managers.

In addition to Hougan, the forum will host a diverse group of speakers, including Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets research; Oh Kyung-seok, CEO of Dunamu; Shin Won-keun, CEO of Kakao Pay; and Sohn Byung-doo, CEO of Toss Insight. Together, they will explore the financial innovations and investment opportunities that digital assets present.

Hosted by the Korea Economic Daily, DAIF 2026 is open to anyone interested in the digital asset investment landscape. Registration is available online on a first-come, first-served basis, with an admission fee of 20,000 won. Subscribers of the Korea Economic Daily who pay via automatic bank transfer, as well as Premium 9 subscribers, can attend free of charge. Interested participants can register at hkif.co.kr.

As the digital asset market continues to evolve, DAIF 2026 promises to be an essential gathering for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of investing in this dynamic field.
