HSC Conference Seoul Returns This October, Co-Hosted By Z Venture, Bridging Crypto And Institutional Finance
Z Venture, an independent Web3 investment and strategic advisory platform, will co-host the Seoul edition of HSC Conference on October 1, 2026, alongside Mpost Media Group. A premier event dedicated to bridging institutional finance and cryptocurrency, HSC Conference will take place at Novotel Ambassador Seoul Gangnam and serve as a global platform connecting capital with the digital asset economy.
The event will bring together global industry leaders from financial institutions, crypto investment funds, and technology companies to explore how digital assets are moving from the crypto niche toward real integration with mainstream finance, and what that means for the future direction of TradFi and the Web3 ecosystem.
Headlining the conference are Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer at Maelstrom; Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Chairman of Animoca Brands; Ed Felten, Co-Founder of Offchain Labs; Charles Jansen, Managing Director, DeFi and Digital Assets at S&P Global; Matthew Dawson, Co-Founder of Ethereum Institutional; John Cahill, COO Asia at Galaxy Digital; and Steven McClurg, Founder and CEO of Canary Capital.
They will be joined by more than 50 professionals from companies including ZKsync, RedStone, Ledger Enterprise, IBM Digital Asset, Bybit, Tether, Base, C² Ventures, Steakhouse Financial, Cactus Custody, AEON, STON.fi, Ether.fi, and BNB Chain, among others.
Attendees will take part in panel discussions and keynotes on the convergence of digital assets and traditional finance, spanning investment, market structure, infrastructure, stablecoins, tokenization, and the intersection of blockchain and AI, while a networking zone open throughout the day will offer space to connect with investors, projects, and partners from the region and beyond.
As co-host, Z Venture will take center stage in one of the event’s main panels, “Financial Infrastructure in the Digital Economy.” Fernando Lillo, the company’s Marketing Director, will share how he works with founders, investors, and industry partners on market expansion, strategic partnerships, fundraising, liquidity, and go-to-market development.
He will be joined by Mykolas Majauskas, Global Head of Policy at Bybit; Takatoshi Shibayama, Head of APAC at Ledger Enterprise; and Leonard Hoh, President at Bitstamp by Robinhood, with the panel moderated by Mickey Hardy, Founder and Chairman of Arcadia. Together, they will examine the financial infrastructure underpinning the digital economy, from trading, custody, and payments to regulatory frameworks, and how these building blocks are enabling institutions and businesses to operate on blockchain-based rails. Z Venture is expected to share updates on its latest initiatives during the session, and attendees will have the opportunity to connect with the team throughout the event to explore potential partnerships and collaboration.
This autumn, HSC Conference enters its fourth year as a global flagship digital asset event. Launched in 2023, the series has held over 15 editions worldwide, bringing together more than 35,000 international attendees and over 1,000 companies. The Seoul edition is the third in the city and the largest to date in the region.
“Seoul has become one of the most dynamic meeting points for digital asset innovation. This edition of HSC Conference will be a meaningful gathering for founders, investors, and financial institutions to engage in productive dialogue. Together with Z Venture, we are taking HSC Conference to the next level, and this is where that ambition comes to life.”
