BDACS, in collaboration with Galaxy Digital and Animoca Brands, is set to host Korea's first blockchain concert, spotlighting the tokenization of real-world assets like the 'Empress Caterina' Stradivarius violin.
In a groundbreaking fusion of classical music and blockchain technology, BDACS, a leading digital asset custody company, is set to host Korea's first blockchain concert on September 24, 2025, at The RAUM in Cheongdam, Seoul. This event will feature the renowned 'Empress Caterina' Stradivarius violin, according to Animoca Brands.
Blockchain Meets Classical Music
The concert, titled 'Stradivarius Meets Gagliano in Seoul,' will showcase the potential of blockchain technology in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization space. Co-hosted by BDACS, Galaxy Digital, and Animoca Brands, the event will serve as an official side event of Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) 2025. It aims to demonstrate how blockchain can revolutionize both financial markets and cultural investments.
The program features performances by renowned violinists Hae-Won Yoon and Rae-Eun Kim, who will play Niccolò Paganini’s iconic 'Caprice No. 24' using the 'Empress Caterina' Stradivarius and a rare Nicolaus Gagliano violin. Following the performance, a panel discussion will include insights from Terry Kim, co-founder and chief strategy officer of BDACS; Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands; and Jason Urban, global head of trading at Galaxy.
Tokenization of the Empress Caterina
The 'Empress Caterina' Stradivarius, crafted in 1708, is a masterpiece known for its unique tone and resonance. Last year, Galaxy Digital's subsidiary, GK8, tokenized the instrument on the Ethereum blockchain, a pioneering move initiated by its owner, Yat Siu. This tokenization effort is part of a broader initiative to democratize access to the violin's value and preserve its history digitally.
Harry Ryoo, CEO of BDACS, highlighted the significance of the event, stating, “This KBW2025 side event transcends traditional networking, offering a glimpse into the financial innovations made possible through RWA tokenization. By collaborating with industry leaders like Galaxy Digital and Animoca Brands, BDACS aims to lead the next era of digital assets.”
Future Prospects and Partnerships
BDACS is also preparing to present its comprehensive digital finance solutions at the KBW2025 Institutional Stage. Through strategic partnerships, including one with Woori Bank, BDACS is setting the standard for institutional-grade digital asset management in Korea.
Further details about the concert, including registration information, will be available through the BDACS official website and social media channels. Institutional investors and industry participants are encouraged to register in advance to attend this landmark event.
This concert is anticipated to redefine asset management paradigms for the Web3 era, bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets. BDACS and its partners reaffirm their commitment to driving innovation and growth across the global digital asset ecosystem.
