Origin Summit Launches in Seoul at KBW: Flagship Convergence of IP, AI, and Blockchain-Powered Real-World Assets
Seoul becomes the epicenter for the next wave of asset digitization as the Origin Summit kicks off during Korea Blockchain Week.
Beyond the Hype: Where Code Meets Concrete
This isn't another NFT gallery. The summit cuts through the speculative noise to tackle how blockchain actually bypasses traditional finance gatekeepers. Think tokenized real estate, AI-automated IP royalties, and supply chains that actually track something.
IP in the Age of AI
Generative AI creates—but who owns? The event dissects new models for intellectual property on-chain, moving creation from a legal nightmare to a programmable asset class. It’s about making royalties automatic, transparent, and finally fair for creators.
The RWA Revolution Isn't Coming—It's Here
Forget JPEGs. The real disruption is in real-world assets. From fractionalized commercial real estate to carbon credits that can’t be double-counted, blockchain is dragging trillion-dollar markets onto the ledger. Even traditional finance is peeking over the wall—though mostly to see if they should regulate it or acquire it.
So while VCs might be busy funding the next meme coin, this summit focuses on what happens when blockchain actually builds something you can touch. Ironic, isn’t it? The most 'real' thing in crypto might just be the assets it wasn’t supposed to need.
