2026 Crypto Literacy Session 1 (Seoul): First Class with 200 Participants

The Beginning of Crypto Literacy

On January 31 and February 7, 2026, the Insurance Institute's Crypto School held its inaugural Crypto Literacy course at Sahyang Cultural Hall in Seoul National University of Education.

Crypto Literacy is an education program designed to build a systematic understanding of blockchain and digital assets. While Crypto Circuit is a large-scale nationwide touring lecture series, Crypto Literacy is an intensive small-group course designed to give participants hands-on, practical knowledge.

Two Days of Intensive Learning

The course ran from 10 AM to 5 PM on both days — six hours of instruction excluding lunch. With enrollment capped at 200 participants on a first-come, first-served basis, each attendee received a deeper, more personalized learning experience.

Curriculum: 12 Hours Total

Why Crypto Literacy Matters

As the crypto market grows, so does the importance of genuine understanding. Crypto Literacy is not just about "knowing coins" — it is about understanding why blockchain technology exists, what problems it solves, and how it connects to the existing financial system.

The fact that a credible institution like the Insurance Institute is conducting crypto education signals that digital asset education has entered the mainstream.

Starting in Seoul, Expanding Nationwide

Session 1 began in Seoul, but the 2026 Crypto Literacy program runs on a year-round schedule, alternating between Seoul and regional cities. The door to education remains open so that more people can build a solid foundation in the crypto economy.
