Why Global Web3 Projects Can't Afford to Skip South Korea: TokenPost Unveils Data-Driven Entry Solutions

(Seoul, April 22, 2026) — South Korea has firmly established itself as a powerhouse in the global cryptocurrency landscape. Yet, for many international Web3 projects, penetrating this highly lucrative market remains a complex challenge. Today, TokenPost, South Korea’s leading blockchain media outlet, has launched its revamped global advertising and partnership portal (https://advertise.tokenpost.kr/en) to provide international projects with a data-backed, full-funnel gateway into Asia’s most crucial crypto market.

The Market You Can't Afford to Skip

According to the TokenPost 5th Digital Asset National Survey (1,803 respondents), South Korea offers one of the world's deepest liquidity pools, accounting for 30% of global crypto volume. More importantly, Korean retail investors allocate a significant portion of their wealth to digital assets, with 40.4% holding more than 11% of their financial assets in crypto.

Furthermore, the Korean crypto market is driven by working professionals, not retail dabblers. A striking 58.7% of investors are aged between 30 and 49 (30s: 32%, 40s: 26.7%), demonstrating a mature and highly capitalized investor base.

The Takeaway: In Korea, Media Outperforms KOLs

A common misconception among global marketers is that influencer marketing (KOLs) is the key to unlocking the Korean market. However, TokenPost’s research reveals a different reality: Media is the #1 source of crypto information for Korean investors.

When asked where they get their crypto information, respondents answered:

• Media: 26.3%

• YouTube / Podcasts: 21.0%

• X / Telegram / Discord: 14.8%

• Community / Peers: 14.5%

In South Korea, a project's growth is driven by trusted editorial voices, not paid influencers. Being featured on the country's top crypto media matters significantly more than relying on a roster of KOLs.
