This is what koreamaxxing looks like when it's done properly jumper's goal for korea: $1M korea committed: $10.3M the sale cap: $3M writing up the full playbook this week. Everything we've learned about getting korea right, all in one place.

Korea doesn't do anything halfway $900B into super intelligence the same country runs one of the most active crypto markets in the world if you're building anything, you should be koreamaxxing

“I already use it” doesn’t mean “I get it.” Two creators we spoke to used @jumperapp regularly. but both still thought of it as a bridge. that shaped our Korea rollout. before you tell people what’s new- check they understand what’s already there. Gg

4,000 Telegram views can look disappointing next to 40,000 X impressions. But they are typically worth way more. Telegram views are highly vetted, people who know are more interested and have more money to spend. Compared to x views which are often random and do not convert. Do not sleep on tg.

korea alone could have filled @jumperapp's sale three times over. $10.3M committed. the cap was $3M. - four months before we started: 76th of 82 projects in korea
- sale day to allocations: #1, ahead of solana and hyperliquid

Count users and the Korean market looks small, count bids and you see how it can create big change. Jumper’s sale: > 938 people. About 10% of everyone who bid. > $10.3M committed. About 21% of the money. Small slice of the crowd but twice the relative size of cash. koreamaxx

Just got back from korea, there were two KBWs and most people dont even know it One was on the floor, the one everyone has access to - the one every one sees then there is the other one, the hidden one, the one in the invite-only rooms. If you only did the first, the week looked quiet and boring however the reality is far from it The expo was in Korea’s Wall Street, trad fi, banks, securities firms, payment companies etc. suits The ppl that decide which products get built or which tokens get listed were in the invite only rooms, not the expo floor. They usually had a fully booked calendar and didnt really go to the conference floor. If your calendar was only the official programme, you definitely missed the important parts of kbw They had specific things to show. Checkout flows, merchant settlement, cross-border tests. The conversation if youre in crypto you already know has moved past whether blockchain might be useful. Banks are going full throttle into crypto, stablecoins, stripe all show this: Who accepts the payment? How does the merchant get paid? What happens between the two? Korean institutions want a won stablecoin. Banks are already running internal tests, all are aiming for q1 2027 If you’re still waiting for an official announcement you’re already late. Trading-product builders were in the same rooms. Tokenization is not the hard part anymore. “We can tokenize this” was the start of the conversation. The harder questions i heard were who buys it, where it trades, and whether anyone can borrow against it. Korea’s version ran both ways. Global assets into Korea, and Korean stocks made easier for overseas investors. DeFi isnt dead, it kept coming back through lending and liquidity. Issuing an asset is one step. Giving people a reason to hold it and use it is another. The banks have the products. The rooms have the users. Retail remains strong. The institutional focus of kbw did not erase the trading crowd. Live competitions still drew people. Plasma ran cashback at Olive Young, so visitors had a reason to try a crypto card while shopping. Paid posts were not the examples people named. Privacy came up as a trading concern. People didn’t want others seeing their positions and trading ahead of them. Most western teams flew in, met each other, and called it Korea. But the audience that forms opinion sits in private Telegram rooms. Those do not open because you bought a badge. If the relationship was not there before the week, the week did not create it… and this is what most people miss. However the week showed progress, and how much is still being tested as an industry. Gg. If youre reading this and need some advice on korea, pls shoot me a dm, always happy to talk korea w crypto teams

easily the top thing u can do for a project is koreamaxxx. its very simple, get addicted to treating korea as a multiplier, ignore follower counts, find the voices who move the market, speak where they speak, and understand decisions are made before they ever hit x.

koreamaxxed with @jeg6322 in seoul for kbw. we spoke about why teams miss the mark in korea: they buy a KOL list and expect the posts to do the rest. getting korea right means knowing where your project fits, how to introduce it credibly, and how to build lasting demand. that takes local research, trusted relationships and ongoing execution. dm me if you are trying to push your project in korea

Jumper had 26 Korean mentions in the first 8 months of 2026, then 259 in the 23 days to its Legion sale close. Squid ran the previous Legion sale, and Korea was its #2 country by participants. Squid had 161 in its own 23 days. Commitments: - Squid $26.7M - Jumper $48.6M

Seoul has insane aura

The most discussed pre-TGE project in Korea is @jumperapp. Outside of pre-TGE, it’s #5 behind: 1. Bitcoin 2. Ethereum 3. Solana 4. Hyperliquid Gg.

Aura is high in Seoul

Who needs a ride around KBW?

Korea's first read on Base App becoming Coinbase Wallet: 8 posts across 7 channels in 19 hours. Some focused on the shift away from social. One saw value in returning to the Coinbase name. Here’s what they said and how far the news spread.
