Origin Summit Unveils Speakers on IP Tokenization at KBW

Origin Summit has unveiled its second wave of speakers ahead of its debut on September 23 at Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) in Seoul. Hosted by Story Protocol, the world’s leading IP blockchain, the forum brings together IP holders, AI developers, institutional investors and cultural leaders to explore IP tokenization and the AI-blockchain convergence. The new lineup features Sooman Lee, founder of SM Entertainment; Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX; and Justin Sun, founder of TRON. Origin Summit’s focus on IP tokenization spans programmable IP, digital identity and real-world asset integration. With intellectual property valued at over $80 trillion, discussions will cover AI-native creative economies and market strategies. South Korea’s robust crypto adoption rate (30%), strong IP exports ($13.6 billion in 2024) and rapid AI uptake have cemented Seoul’s status as a hub for digital-asset innovation. Limited institutional registrations are available via originsummit.xyz.
Neutral
Origin Summit is primarily an institutional forum announcement. In the short term, speaker reveals and session themes are unlikely to move prices. However, the focus on IP tokenization and high-profile founders like Justin Sun could attract long-term institutional interest in IP blockchain projects such as TRON (TRX) and Story Protocol. Overall, while the summit may boost sector awareness, it is not expected to trigger immediate bullish or bearish price movements, resulting in a neutral impact.
