Been seeing a few RWA platforms focusing their physical presence in Korea lately.


Also spoke to other founders and they are planning to do the same.
But why Korea? 🇰🇷
Because the setup is getting harder to ignore.
Korea already has ~16.29M crypto investors, or roughly 32% of the population.
On the collectibles side, it’s not just niche card shop demand either.
Pokémon Korea’s 2026 Korean League has 5 tournaments including the final.
Lotte’s Pokémon Town 2024 drew 4M visitors, and Pokémon Town 2025 pulled 100k+ visitors in just 3 days.
Even Seoul Card Festa brands itself as Korea’s largest trading card festa.
So Korea is starting to show a rare mix of:
- real offline TCG demand
- strong IP pull
- high crypto familiarity
That doesn’t make it the biggest market in Asia.
But it does make it one of the more interesting ones to watch for tokenized collectibles.
So if more TCG/collectible RWA teams keep leaning into Korea, I don’t think it’s random.
They’re probably seeing the same thing: a market where collecting culture and digital asset behavior are starting to overlap.
