South Korea is also known as the crypto incubator of Asia — It seems these days that what ever coin we see listing on a Korean exchange is guaranteed to drastically increase in trade volume and consequently the price. Koreans have their favorites, and whatever is favoured in Korea is almost certainly to succeed.

ICON (ICX)

The coin supreme in South Korea is undisputedly ICON (ICX). ICON is one of the largest blockchain networks in the world. ICON boasts independent blockchains comprised of reputable institutions in major industries. ICON aims to build a decentralised network that allows independent blockchains with different governances to transact with one another without intermediaries. Recently South Koreans are extremely supportive of Icon founder, Min Kim’s decision to make ICON less speculative (by forcing out Ian Balina) and deliver real world value.

Mithril (MITH)

I’ve been researching on what’s the next hot coin out of Korea and saw Mithril dominating the trade volume at $145 million per day. This project is rated one of the best performing cryptocurrency of 2018. Mithril is building the a decentralised ecosystem of social networks that rewards users for simply posting and sharing. They have already built a working platform called Lit — a decentralised Instagram. Now you might ask how is this different from Steem or other social networks? Simple answer: it’s backed by Jeff Huang and his army of Celebrities
