Credit Scend, a self-funded Web3 venture firm focused on the APAC region, has announced its return as a title sponsor of HSC Conference Seoul 2026. Co-hosted by MPost Media Group and Z Venture, the event is scheduled for October 1, 2026, at Novotel Ambassador Seoul Gangnam and is expected to draw more than 2,000 attendees and over 50 speakers from financial institutions, crypto investment funds, and technology companies.

Positioned as a premier gathering dedicated to bridging institutional finance and cryptocurrency, the conference will examine the forces shaping the next phase of digital finance, covering investment, market structure, infrastructure, stablecoins, tokenization, and the intersection of blockchain and AI. The themes map directly onto the speaker roster itself, which spans stablecoin issuers, exchanges and blockchain platforms, institutional infrastructure providers, and data services firms — a composition that lets attendees hear how each segment is approaching the same shifts in digital finance from within its own vantage point.

Headline speakers include Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer at Maelstrom; Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Chairman of Animoca Brands; and Ed Felten, Co-Founder of Offchain Labs. They will be joined by Charles Jansen, Managing Director, DeFi and Digital Assets at S&P Global; Matthew Dawson, Co-Founder of Ethereum Institutional; John Cahill, COO Asia at Galaxy Digital; and Steven McClurg, Founder and CEO of Canary Capital, alongside representatives of ZKsync, RedStone, Ledger Enterprise, IBM Digital Asset, Bybit, Tether, Base, C² Ventures, Steakhouse Financial, Cactus Custody, AEON, STON.fi, Ether.fi, and BNB Chain.

The full-day agenda will feature keynotes, panel sessions, and a roundtable. A networking zone open throughout the event will connect attendees with global and regional capital and curated projects, helping them identify potential partners and market-entry pathways.

As a title sponsor, Credit Scend will present its vision for the next generation of Web3 investment and ecosystem building: a hands-on, founder-first model that goes beyond capital to deliver strategic guidance, mentorship, access to an extensive network of industry leaders and partners. With deep roots in high-growth ecosystems such as Solana and Sui since 2021 and a portfolio of more than 40 companies, the firm concentrates on the Korean market, providing founders with conviction, capital, and practical support to navigate rising complexity and achieve lasting growth.

The firm's return follows its participation in HSC Conference's 2025 Seoul edition and builds on its ongoing engagement with the Korean Web3 ecosystem and founder communities across APAC. The renewed partnership reflects a shared focus on connecting high-potential projects with the institutions, investors, and partners shaping the future of digital finance — and places a regionally focused investor alongside the global institutions headlining the program, in line with the conference's bridging positioning.

Throughout the event, the Credit Scend team will contribute to the conference program and hold dedicated meetings during the networking session. Attendees exploring the region's digital asset market will have the opportunity to connect with the team directly to discuss investment opportunities, strategic partnerships, and the firm's approach to ecosystem building. For those tracking the Korean and broader APAC ecosystem, these sessions — together with the roundtable and keynotes — offer direct access to an APAC-focused investor and serve as one of the event's concrete touchpoints between regional capital and the institutions attending.
