Look at
@injective 's Seoul event's speaker list for KBW.
A bank from Japan (SMBC Nikko). A Federal Reserve speaker. Coinbase and BitGo, which store and transfer the industry's money. A Korean custody company (BDACS). LG CNS, the technology arm of one of Korea's largest conglomerates. A U.S. policy organization (Blockchain Association). And a research firm (Four Pillars).
This isn't your usual crypto-core conversation.
Imagine if you hosted a restaurant's opening. If only food critics showed up, you'd know you've succeeded in your target audience. Still, if the health inspector, the supplier, the bank, and the landlord showed up, that would suggest you're being taken seriously as a business.
Only on-chain financial infrastructure truly facilitates cross-chain asset trading by requiring the agreement of multiple private entities on asset ownership, smart contract programming languages, settlement mechanisms, and transaction validity. This is a much-needed conversation that rarely occurs in one room, let alone on one chain.
This is precisely the kind of environment in which Injective thrives. Its chain enables a fully on-chain order book, uses batch auctions to reduce front-running, and settles transactions for about $0.0003 gas per trade in roughly 650 milliseconds. This is the kind of infrastructure that a custodian or bank would want to consider before building an application on top of.
Seoul is the right place to have this conversation. South Korea is home to some of the most significant crypto trading populations in the world. And it's quickly becoming a destination for traditional finance and Web3 to converge.
A conference photo op is a small indicator of things to come, but when it comes to conferences centered around regulation, custody, and development, seeing these organizations in the same room is always a good sign.
