Dunamu, which operates the cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, announced on November 2 that it will hold its policy conference, “D-CON 2026,” at the Fairmont Ambassador Seoul in Yeouido on November 10.

Now in its fourth year, D-CON is a policy conference Dunamu has held since 2023. This year’s theme is “BUIDL to Bloom.” The conference will examine changes in the digital asset industry and explore ways to strengthen global competitiveness and advance institutional frameworks.

The conference will consist of three sessions. The first, “Challenges on the Path to Becoming a Leading Digital Asset Nation,” will feature a special discussion moderated by economic YouTuber Shuka World. The participants will be Min Byung-deok of the Democratic Party of Korea, Park Soo-min of the People Power Party, and Kim Hyeong-nyeon, Vice Chairman of Dunamu.

The second session, “Blockchain Connecting with the Real World,” will examine the changes and industrial potential that blockchain and digital assets could bring to our everyday lives. Broadcaster Jung Young-jin, who covers economic and current affairs, will moderate. Participants will include Go Ran, CEO of Algoran; Professor Kim Sang-yoon of Kyung Hee University; Professor Park Jung-ho of Myongji University; and U.S. attorney Seo Dong-ju.

In the final session, “The Race to Establish Global Digital Asset Frameworks: What Is Korea’s Strategy?,” attorney Kim Jun-young of Kim & Chang will deliver a presentation. Professor Jung Jun-hyuk of Seoul National University, Professor Eo Jun-kyung of Yonsei University, and Park Hyo-min, a legislative researcher at the Economic and Industry Division of the National Assembly Research Service, will join the panel.

D-CON is a free public event, and anyone may attend. The event will begin at 1:50 p.m.

A Dunamu representative said, “While the digital asset market has taken a breather this year, major countries, including the United States, are strengthening the foundations of their institutional frameworks.” The representative added, “We hope this will be an opportunity to explore practical solutions that will help Korea avoid falling behind in the global race to establish digital asset frameworks and become a leading digital asset nation, building on the innovation we have achieved so far.”
