SEOUL, South Korea, April 12th, 2025 – MANTRA Finance FZE (MANTRA), a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) platform operated by MANTRA Group, has announced the inaugural MANTRA RWA Summit will take place on April 14, 2025, in Seoul.
Held in partnership with BTCON, Korea’s pioneering Bitcoin conference, the MANTRA RWA Summit marks a major milestone in the South Korean Web3 ecosystem as the first real-world asset (RWA)-focused summit. The event will bring together top executives from traditional finance, regulatory bodies, and the Web3 ecosystem to explore the future of asset tokenization and digital finance.
The one-day summit arrives at a pivotal moment for South Korea. The country’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has announced plans to legalize Security Token Offering (STO) platforms by June 2025, positioning South Korea as a global hub for digital asset innovation. MANTRA, along with its co-host BTCON, have leveraged this announcement to convene leading financial institutions and innovators to discuss cutting-edge developments, including stablecoins, policy outlooks, and the growing role of RWAs in fueling market expansion.
Prominent participants include South Korea’s National Pension Fund, Korea Investment, NH Securities, MaeKyung Group, and internationally recognized speakers such as Sergio Mello (Anchorage Digital’s Head of Stablecoins), Youngjae Lee (Mirae Asset Securities’ Digital Asset Task Force), Dong Won Lee (Maeil Broadcasting Network’s CEO), Gabrae Kim (Senior Research Fellow at the Korea Capital Market Institute), Jaejin Kim (Executive Vice Chairman of DAXA), and many more.
“We are excited to bring together key institutional players, thought leaders and community members together in South Korea as we explore what the current regulatory changes means not just for real world assets, but the wider space.”
– CEO and Founder John Patrick Mullin
Adding:
“We believe the adoption of RWAs is one best driven by the collective. Across a variety of firesides and panels, we'll be looking into and discussing real world trends, asset infrastructure, policy outlooks, ecosystem updates, stablecoins and more, the takeaways of which will shape future conversations and roadmaps.”
Amira Sajwani, Managing Director of Sales and Development at DAMAC, will join remotely from the UAE to discuss DAMAC’s strategic partnership with MANTRA, emphasizing tokenization efforts worth over US$1 billion across real estate, hospitality, and data centers.
