At Korea Blockchain Week 2025, founders, traders, and regulators all pushed the same message: Asia now drives a huge share of global Bitcoin and Web3 activity.

South Korea plays a special role here. Local exchanges often trade Bitcoin at a higher price than the rest of the world, nicknamed the \u201ckimchi premium.\u201d This premium tells you Korean retail demand stays strong, even when other markets cool off.
