Seoul, South Korea, September 22nd, 2025, Chainwire
Seoul Exchange, One of Only Two Licensed Platforms For Unlisted Securities, Will Exclusively Use Story To Settle Tokenized RWAs
Partnership set to bring programmable assets to Korea’s $450b crypto market, the world’s second largest by trading volume
- Strategic collaboration to bring all of Seoul Exchange’s Trading Activity for Tokenized assets on Story.
- Seoul Exchange, one of only two licensed platforms for trading unlisted securities, will be choosing Story’s blockchain as an exclusive infrastructure partner focused on real-world assets (RWAs), unlocking a new class of compliant, investable digital securities.
- For the first 3 years, Seoul Exchange will use Story’s Layer-1 blockchain as the exclusive infrastructure for registering and settling tokenized assets.
- Transactions will be powered by Story’s native token ($IP), creating a fully on-chain marketplace for previously illiquid cultural and financial assets.
- The collaboration will focus on tokenizing Korean content IP, including K-pop royalties, K-drama rights, webtoons, games, and patents, making these global cultural phenomena investable for the first time. Notable IP already registered on Story includes BLACKPINK, BTS, Psy, and Pinkfong (Baby Shark)
Seoul Exchange and Story Protocol have entered into an agreement to build Korea’s first dedicated blockchain exchange for tokenized cultural and intellectual property assets. The collaboration outlines how Seoul Exchange will launch a regulated RWA trading platform powered entirely by Story’s blockchain infrastructure for the next 3 years.
Seoul Exchange is a fintech company that provides brokerage services for unlisted stocks of startups and venture companies through its unlisted securities trading platform “Seoul Exchange.” It is one of only two platforms officially selected by the Korean government to operate under the financial regulatory sandbox. Seoul Exchange has received investment from leading Korean and global VCs such as Hashed, SoftBank Ventures, Capstone Partners, and POSCO Technology Investment.
Under the agreement, Seoul Exchange will use Story as the sole infrastructure provider for registering and settling tokenized offerings. For an initial term 3 years, all listings on the exchange ranging from music IP and webtoons to patents and private securities, will be recorded on Story’s network, leveraging its composable architecture and native $IP token economy.
IP is expected to become Korea’s leading real-world asset (RWA) category, with Story positioned as the exclusive chain for Seoul Exchange’s IP tokenization. Story is a Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built to make intellectual property programmable. Backed by $136 million from a16z, Polychain, and Samsung Ventures, Story launched its mainnet in early 2025 and has quickly become a leading infrastructure for tokenized IP.
Korea is home to some of the world’s most successful creative exports, but monetizing IP remains limited to insiders. This new trading platform aims to change that. By bringing IP onchain, Story and Seoul Exchange are unlocking a new class of fractional, transparent, and globally accessible digital securities. Global IP is valued at over $80 trillion, yet most of it remains illiquid and inaccessible. This partnership aims to unlock IP and other real-world assets (RWAs) via blockchain, allowing global investors to own, trade, and earn from high-value creative works.
Korean storytellers have captured the world’s imagination. Global hits like K-POP Demon Hunter became Netflix’s most-popular film of all time with 236 million views in the first nine weeks. Parasite won Best Picture at the Oscars. Squid Game became Netflix’s most-watched show. Baby Shark is a global phenomenon. But behind this success lies a structural problem: creators rarely retain ownership or share in the long-term upside. Platforms like Netflix own the IP. Studios operate on thin margins. Even as Korean content goes global, the value flows elsewhere.This imbalance has sparked growing debate in Korea, with many voices calling for a new model that allows creators to break free from reliance on upfront financing and pre-production deals.
Story is introducing such an alternative through content tokenization. By enabling global fans to directly participate in fundraising, production companies can retain ownership of their IP and instead engage in distribution agreements that ensure fairer and more sustainable revenue models. This approach not only protects creators’ rights but also opens the door to a new, fan-driven economy in entertainment.
The platform will combine retail accessibility with institutional-grade compliance under Korean regulations. Should a Korean won-pegged stablecoin be approved by regulators, the platform is designed to support its integration it may be integrated for native currency settlement, further aligning with domestic financial infrastructure.
Tokenized content, including music rights, game universes, can be listed and traded by retail and institutional investors alike, all within Korea’s evolving STO regulatory sandbox.
Story Protocol is the world’s first Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for IP. It enables IP to be registered, licensed, and monetized in real time, embedding royalties and usage terms directly into the tokenized representation of creative assets.
Backed by investors including a16z, Polychain, Hashed and Samsung Ventures, Story launched its mainnet in early 2025 and has already rapidly expanded its ecosystem and onboarded a diverse music collectives, DeFi protocols, and global entertainment IPs. For example, Story has already begun tokenizing major K-culture IP, including the music rights of leading K-pop artists (BTS, BLACKPINK, Psy, BIGBANG) and global artists (Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus)
Seoul Exchange’s integration makes Story the de facto infrastructure for Korea’s next wave of tokenized RWAs, positioning it as the blockchain gateway for cultural capital.
This partnership bridges Korea’s booming cultural industries with the world’s capital markets.
The platform will prioritize assets with strong fan engagement and long-term value potential, and will also support future integrations with financial products, remix licenses, and governance layers, bringing programmability to previously static IP rights.
Quotes from Leadership
JD Yang, CEO, Seoul Exchange:
“Through this collaboration, Seoul Exchange has further strengthened the stability and trust in the process of building our STO exchange. We aim to become Korea’s leading STO exchange through a differentiated tokenization model centered on IP and content.”
Seung-yoon “SY” Lee, Co-founder & CEO, Story Protocol:
“We see this as a landmark step in making Korea’s world-class cultural IP accessible to global investors. Story enables creators and platforms like Seoul Exchange to go beyond traditional licensing models to build liquidity, loyalty, and monetization around programmable IP. Intellectual property is the largest untapped asset class in the world, worth over $80 trillion, and with Korea now the second-largest crypto trading market in the world, the opportunity to pioneer new asset classes is massive. This partnership brings us one step closer to unlocking that value at global scale. With this move, Story will be one of only two chains powering RWAs in Korea, the second-largest crypto market in the world, confirming IP’s place at the center of Korea’s next blockchain growth cycle.”

BitMine now owns greater than 2% of the ETH token supply as it moves towards the ‘Alchemy of 5%’
BitMine Crypto + Cash Holdings + “Moonshots” total $11.4 billion, including 2.416 million ETH Tokens, unencumbered cash of $345 million, and other crypto holdings
BitMine is the 24th most traded stock in the US, trading $3.5 billion per day (5-day avg)
BitMine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas “Tom” Lee to support BitMine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) BitMine Immersion Technologies (“BitMine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network Company with a focus on the accumulation of Crypto for long term investment, today announced crypto BitMine crypto + cash + “moonshots” holdings totalling $11.4 billion.
As of September 21st at 4:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 2,416,054 ETH at $4,497 per ETH (Bloomberg), 192 Bitcoin (BTC), $175 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and unencumbered cash of $345 million.
BitMine crypto holdings reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc (MSTR), which owns 638,460 BTC valued at $74 billion. BitMine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.
“BitMine ETH holdings now exceed 2% of supply as we move towards our ‘Alchemy of 5%’ of ETH supply. We approached holdings of 1% of ETH in early August when BitMine’s equity was $38 (20-moving average) and as we exceed 2%, BitMine’s share price is now over $61,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of BitMine. “As we mentioned in our August Chairman’s message, the convergence of both Wall Street moving onto the blockchain and AI/ agentic-AI creating a token economy is creating a supercycle for Ethereum. And the power law benefits large holders of ETH, hence, we pursue the ‘alchemy of 5%’ of ETH.”
The GENIUS Act and SEC’s Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.
“We continue to believe Ethereum is one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10-15 years,” continued Lee. “Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today’s financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum.”
BitMine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $3.5 billion (5-day average, as of September 21, 2025), ranking #24 in the US, behind Opendoor Technologies (rank #23) and ahead of Eli Lilly (rank #25) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).
“At BitMine, we are leading our crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of our stock,” said Lee.

Seoul, South Korea, September 22nd, 2025, Chainwire
nPLUG will let fans legally remix film, music, and entertainment IP using Story’s programmable licensing infrastructure.
The Story Foundation has entered into a strategic collaboration with Barunson, the acclaimed studio in film and drama behind Parasite, known for spearheading the cultural content ecosystem by creating Asia’s only 340 billion KRW K-content investment fund. Together with its Web3 arm Nproject, they will launch nPLUG, a first-of-its-kind remixing platform for cultural IP.
Korean storytellers have captured the world’s imagination. Parasite won Best Picture at the Oscars. Squid Game became Netflix’s most-watched show. Baby Shark is a global phenomenon. But behind this success lies a structural problem: creators rarely retain ownership or share in the long-term upside. Platforms like Netflix own the IP. Studios operate on thin margins. Even as Korean content goes global, the value flows elsewhere.
This partnership represents a new model, one where creators retain their IP, raise capital directly from fans, and unlock new ways to monetize through tokenization.
Through this partnership, Barunson will build a structure that allows its flagship IP assets to be remixed, re-created, and revenue-shared on the blockchain. It is already working to port key IPs to the Nproject platform, bringing them onchain via Story. This creates new opportunities for K-content to evolve from a consumable product into a participatory, expandable asset in the global market.
Introducing nPLUG
Set to launch in Q4 2025, nPLUG will be the first platform to embed programmable licensing directly into short-form media content. Running natively on Story, the world’s first Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for IP, nPLUG will allow fans, editors, and creators to legally remix licensed IP into new shortform videos.
Users can mint remixes as onchain assets with embedded licensing terms, automated royalty splits, and trackable attribution. Smart contracts will handle provenance, enforce permissions, and unlock new monetization channels for both original rights-holders and remix creators.
Creators will be able to freely produce and post derivative works based on original IPs, and revenues generated through ads or in-app purchases (IAP) will be automatically shared with the original IP owners.
Backed by Barunson’s cultural legacy, it is one of Korea’s most iconic film studios, having produced internationally acclaimed works such as:
- Parasite – First foreign-language film to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards
- Mother, Inside Men, The Age of Shadows, Cobweb – Cult and critical hits across genres
With this track record, Barunson is uniquely positioned to bring world-renowned, remixable IP onchain, starting with nPLUG as the gateway to a programmable content ecosystem.
Until now, remixing IP legally has been nearly impossible. nPLUG, built by Nproject, changes that by introducing a new model for creative freedom and fair compensation with:
- Real-time licensing of IP for fan remixes
- Transparent royalty flows for IP holders
- Global access to iconic Korean IP as remixable digital assets
With over $12B in annual exports across K-content and one of the world’s most engaged fan economies, Korea’s entertainment industry is primed to lead the shift toward a decentralized creative economy. To accelerate adoption, Barunson, Story, and Nproject plan to advance blockchain-based IP monetization models and will launch an IP investment fund within the year.
nPLUG positions Korea at the forefront of a global movement to turn cultural IP into programmable capital. This means creators can license their IP legally and flexibly, allowing fans and new creators to remix, adapt, and expand stories without relinquishing ownership. It’s the foundation for a more equitable creative economy where IP value compounds over time and stays with those who imagined it.
Seung-yoon “SY” Lee, Co-founder & CEO, Story Protocol:
“Korean storytellers have proven they can capture the world’s imagination, just look at Parasite, Squid Game, or Baby Shark. But the business model behind these successes is broken. Platforms capture the upside, while the creators who built these worlds are treated like work-for-hire.
Story’s programmable IP infrastructure changes this. It enables creators and studios to keep ownership, raise capital directly from their fans, and turn their stories into globally investable franchises.
Shin-Beom Kang, CEO, Barunson:
“Barunson has been at the forefront of Korea’s cultural content industry, producing and developing a wide range of works across film, drama, metaverse, gaming, and live performance. This collaboration with Story and Nproject marks a pivotal step toward building a transparent and fair IP ecosystem powered by global fandom, and we are committed to advancing Korea’s content industry into the next-generation, blockchain-based IP economy.”

Dubai, UAE, September 21st, 2025, Chainwire
The Role of Presales in Early Investment
Pepeto, the rising meme coin based on the Ethereum blockchain, has now, as of 19 September 2025, raised over $6.78 million in its presale, as more investors participate following the viral launch of its demo exchange set to adopt all the next best meme coins in 2025. With billions of tokens already sold and interest growing across the best crypto project growing ahead of Q4 2025, Pepeto is quickly becoming one of the talked-about meme projects of 2025, thanks to its utility.
In traditional markets, IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) give early access to company shares before they become publicly tradable. In the crypto world, ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) and token presales serve a similar purpose, offering coins at early discounted rates. As per the team, projects like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe have shown that early entry often leads to opportunities for big profits. Getting in before the crowd and holding as demand increases can be the key move presales often make the difference between chasing trends and being in front of them.
Presale Growth Shows Market Demand
In the middle of the federal reserve cut of interest rate, for the first time this year, the crypto industry, where countless tokens appear, Pepeto has drawn attention for its underlying infrastructure. The project’s presale is listed at $0.000000154, with early participation reflecting growing awareness.
During the presale stages, the price of Pepeto increases gradually. Each new stage brings a slightly higher cost per token, making earlier entries more cost-efficient. This structure is designed to establish progression ahead of any public listing. In addition, staking rewards are currently advertised at 226% APY, offered as part of the project’s holding mechanism.
The Role of the Demo Exchange in Q4, 2025
Some crypto projects focus on giveaways or flashy promotions, but Pepeto took a different route. The demo exchange wasn’t just posted for attention, it showed what’s actually being built. The platform has since drawn interest from users, token developers, and investment groups, noting the focus on a meme-oriented exchange.
Pepeto has surpassed the $6.78 million mark in its presale, indicating notable attention within the cryptocurrency community. Discussions have appeared across platforms such as Telegram, YouTube, and Twitter, as well as during live AMAs. The working demo provides an early view of planned developments for the platform.
Community Interest And Pre-sale Structure
Pepeto has attracted growing community engagement following the launch of its demo exchange, where users have shared screenshots, feedback, and walk-throughs. The activity has emerged organically rather than through advertising or paid promotion. Compared with earlier meme coins such as Pepe or Shiba, Pepeto has entered the market with a functioning platform and stated long-term objectives.
As the presale advances, Pepeto’s price increases gradually through each phase, with later stages reflecting higher token costs. Staking is currently advertised at 226% APY, presented as an incentive for participants who hold tokens. The model is structured to address both early participation and longer-term engagement.
Built on Ethereum, Designed for Scale
Pepeto’s core strength is how it’s built. Using Ethereum and fully EVM-ready, it runs with fast, no-fee swaps, cross-chain tools, and supports token launches with strong safety in mind. The roadmap includes staking rewards, a meme coin launch area, and NFT functions, all designed in one place.

Logos Press Engine has announced the release of “Farewell to Westphalia: Crypto Sovereignty and Post-Nation-State Governance”, a new book by Jarrad Hope and Peter Ludlow, available in print and online starting September 18. The publication examines the historical foundations of the modern nation-state and argues that its governance model, formalized in 1648, is no longer suited to contemporary digital realities. In its place, the authors introduce the concept of the “cyberstate”, a new political model enabled by blockchain technology and voluntary digital communities.
Jarrad Hope, Founder of Logos, a movement and technology stack dedicated to preserving digital freedom, and Peter Ludlow, Director of the Research Institute for Philosophy and Technology, are releasing their radical collaborative project, Farewell to Westphalia: Crypto Sovereignty and Post-Nation-State Governance, on September 16th. Published by the Logos Press Engine, the book argues that the modern nation state has become obsolete, with its successor lying in a surprising place: the blockchain.
Hope and Ludlow envision a future belonging to cyberstates and communities organised around blockchain, new political entities tailored to the digital age, and the increasingly global issues we face today. These entities leverage blockchain technology, the same infrastructure supporting Bitcoin, to enshrine trust, accountability, and civil liberties, while reducing corruption and the power of unelected intermediaries at all levels of human coordination.
The concept of a cyberstate, first introduced by early cypherpunk communities, is now receiving renewed attention due to recent advancements in blockchain technology. The authors define them as “online communities”, which “carry out functions usually associated with traditional nation states”. They might provide security, assist with healthcare, sponsor arts and culture, or support business through negotiating trade agreements and encouraging business development.
Unlike nation states, however, the book explains that cyberstates should be organised around shared values and voluntary membership rather than “arbitrary political boundaries”. They describe them as “geographically unencumbered” with a cyberstate’s territory defined by “its footprint in cyberspace”–“unlimited in scope and scale”.
Furthermore, and most radically, cyberstates would conduct all governance activities using blockchain technology, a shared, digital ledger permanently recording information across a network of computers. Just as anyone can view the full history of cryptocurrency transactions on such a ledger, so too would all votes, policies, and communications undertaken by a cyberstate be viewable on one too, ensuring complete transparency.
“Governance, whether it comes in the form of public governments or other forms of human governance, is absolutely critical to every aspect of our lives. The trouble is that it often seems to be broken”, the authors write in the book’s opening pages. However, for Hope and Ludlow, “crypto shines a bright light on activities that today take place behind curtains and in smoke-filled rooms with little to no accountability”, providing the “tools that make government activity transparent and immutable and our personal business personal and private.”- Hope and Ludlow.
“Farewell to Westphalia makes it crystal clear that the nation-state is no longer the best governance system for today’s digital society. More important than formulating the problem is to develop an alternative societal governance system that serves citizens, and this is exactly the main strength of the book. It imagines a future society built on blockchain technology, creating what is desperately needed today: a human society.” – Bob de Wit, author of Society 4.0 and Emeritus Professor of Strategic Leadership at Nyenrode Business University.
“It’s a compelling manifesto on the future of governance. A critique of the nation-state and a visionary look into blockchain-based political systems. It’s mind boggling how well-researched and multidisciplinary it is.” – Frederico Ast (Kleros Founder).
The collaboration of these two foundational voices in post-nation-state theory is dedicated to Julian Assange and the memory of pioneering developer and activist Hal Finney. As such, Farewell to Westphalia is steeped in cypherpunk and hacktivist culture, establishing itself as an essential text for the future of such ideals. It demands serious consideration from anyone interested in the intersection of technology, politics, and human freedom.
As governments worldwide grapple with declining public trust and the challenges of governing in an increasingly digital world, Farewell to Westphalia offers a timely and provocative roadmap for the future. Hope and Ludlow’s vision of blockchain-powered communities and cyberstates goes further than theoretical speculation, marking out a blueprint for a future where communities seeking alternatives to traditional governance structures can build new networks that serve their needs.

Farewell to Westphalia will be available in print and online on September 18th, marking a pivotal contribution to ongoing conversations about governance in the digital age.

APIA, Samoa, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex, the most efficient crypto exchange, announced the launch of On-chain Earn, a new staking service that integrates proof-of-stake rewards directly into the platform. The introduction of On-chain Earn marks a significant enhancement to Phemex Earn, its wealth management product, providing users with a streamlined mechanism to generate competitive yield on assets such as ETH and SOL without navigating external wallets or decentralized applications.
By integrating staking protocols into Phemex, On-chain Earn improves capital usage for clients: assets remain within a unified account, rewards are distributed transparently, and liquidity is preserved according to each network’s rules. This streamlines what has traditionally been a fragmented process into one efficient, secure, and user-friendly experience.
As part of the launch, Phemex is introducing an exclusive ETH Pool. In addition to receiving ETH staking rewards via wstETH, participants in this pool will also automatically accumulate Mellow Points and Symbiotic Points, which are expected to qualify for future project airdrops. This provides users with potential upside beyond standard staking returns, further differentiating Phemex’s offering in the market.
Key Advantages:
- Competitive staking yields from supported protocols

With On-chain Earn, Phemex strengthens its wealth management suite alongside Spot and Futures trading. Stage two of the rollout will expand the service to additional networks and assets, bringing users an even greater choice in how they earn and manage capital.

Within the first 24 hours of its Token Generation Event (TGE), the token’s exclusive spot listing on Aster DEX established the platform as the sole global venue for $ASTER trading, attracting significant capital inflows and trading activity.
According to on-chain data, $ASTER recorded $371 million in trading volume on its first day. After opening at $0.03015, it climbed to a daily high of $0.528, an increase of roughly 1,650%. This highlighted strong market confidence and laid the foundation for sustained liquidity growth.
The scarcity-driven launch also accelerated adoption. Within 24 hours, nearly 330,000 new wallet addresses joined the network. Over the same period, total value locked (TVL) rose by $660 million to reach $1.005 billion, while total trading volume across the platform approached $1.5 billion, signaling consistent net inflows.
Industry analysts note that these early results strengthen Aster DEX’s position as a next-generation flagship on BNB Chain.
