EntitiesTeam1 KoreaAvalanche ecosystem seeing institutional adoption surge: Goldman Sachs launching $100B treasury fund on Lynq (Avalanche L1), Korea's $5T stock market tokenizing on-chain by Feb 2027 via KSD infrastructure, and NYSE parent ICE testing 24/7 blockchain trading. RWA growth on Avalanche outpaced competitors by 2x in last 30 days ($266M increase).
Team1 Korea is the official Korea chapter of Team1 (/tags/team1), the Avalanche Foundation's global community and builder network, launched in August 2026 after sustained groundwork across Korean developer and founder communities.
Team1 Korea operates under the @Team1KOR banner as a country chapter within Team1's network of regional chapters, which run local events, education, and builder support on behalf of the Avalanche Foundation (/tags/avalanche-foundation). It follows the same model as Team1's other country chapters, adapting the network's grassroots approach to Korea's onchain ecosystem.
The chapter's programming centres on local builder hubs, technical workshops, investor connections, and community meetups. Its stated mission is to make Korea a primary builder and talent hub for Avalanche (/avax), with an emphasis on business, institutional, and payments-focused growth.
The chapter was formalised after a period of regional activity that included Demo Days for local teams, university tours aimed at student developers, founder connect events, and side events staged during Korea Blockchain Week — the same pattern of grassroots work that preceded Team1's other chapter launches.
Team1 Korea coordinates with Team1's global network and the Avalanche Foundation's ecosystem programmes, alongside local university, founder, and community partners inside Korea.

South Korea's Financial Services Commission and Korea Securities Depository confirmed a three-phase plan on Sept. 4 to tokenize stocks, bonds and funds starting Feb. 4, 2027 — but their own release names no blockchain vendor, leaving Avalanche's claim that it is the infrastructure resting on Avalanche's word alone.

Goldman Sachs is distributing its ~$105 billion Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund (FTIXX) to institutional crypto firms through Lynq, a private, permissioned Avalanche L1 — without creating a token that represents the fund.
