It's now easier and faster to connect bank accounts, so people will do it. - Upbit and Bithumb increased users stickiness and onboarded new users through mobile UX updates How do I target Korea? - The report highlights Youtube being the main source of information in S Korea, with x being last. It's important to have information on naver and naver cafe. - Localize your content!!!! - Being mobile-first is also critical, 75% of users in their 20s use mobile for trading - Meaningful partnerships with local businesses make a big different. Korea users are crypto native, they can smell a superficial collab from a mile away TL;DR To win in Korea, you need: A local lead who knows the landscape A long-term community strategy, not a fly-in one-time activation Localized content + mobile UX focus At Plume we've been building a strategy to increase our Korea brand presence from localized content on Naver to billboards throughout Gangnam and Lotte World. We got a glimpse of the energy at KBW, excited to continue expanding into Korea. Really proud of how our marketing community is shaping up - knowledge &amp; resource sharing at its best.
