The event will be held at the auditorium on the third floor of COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
[Herald Economy = Reporter Shin Dong-yoon] YouthMeta, a company specializing in digital assets and blockchain technology, announced on the 20th that it will host the “2026 Digital Asset & Blockchain Conference” at 1:00 p.m. on February 7 at the 3rd-floor auditorium of COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
The upcoming conference is a large-scale offline event designed to examine the current trends and future direction of the digital asset industry amid rapidly changing market conditions. The program will focus on lectures that cover technological, market, and media perspectives. Rather than emphasizing short-term price forecasts or predictions about specific assets, the event aims to help participants better understand the broader frameworks and dynamics shaping an increasingly uncertain market.
YouthMeta develops and operates chart analysis and trading assistance solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI), analyzing digital asset market data to help users gain a more structured understanding of market trends.
In addition to its lecture sessions, the conference will feature hands-on workshops where participants can explore chart movements using real market data. These sessions are not designed to predict prices or compete on trading performance, but rather to provide practical experience in reading charts and interpreting market trends.
The event will also include talks by prominent figures from the media and financial sectors.
Choi Jin-young, CEO of Herald Media Group, will deliver a lecture titled “The Blockchain World Through the Eyes of a Journalist,” discussing the media landscape surrounding digital assets and the broader structure of the industry. Goran, CEO of the YouTube channel “Algoran TV,” will present a session titled “The Future of the Crypto Market as Seen by a Popular YouTuber,” offering insights into market trends and changes from an investor’s perspective.
YouthMeta expects that the conference will go beyond theoretical discussions, providing participants with an opportunity to develop a more multidimensional understanding of the market and reassess their own decision-making criteria.
A YouthMeta official stated, “We hope this event will broaden participants’ perspectives on the digital asset market through diverse lectures and hands-on analysis of real market data.”
