Mirae Asset2026-08-28 05:11:16South Korea's Mirae Asset Plans $109B Digital Asset Business via Digital XSouth Korean financial group Mirae Asset plans to build a digital asset business valued at 150 trillion won (approximately $109 billion) through its cryptocurrency exchange Digital X. The planned business will cover cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and the tokenization of real-world assets. Group founder Park Hyun-joo told employees on Wednesday that the goal is to make Digital X a core pillar of 'Mirae Asset 3.0.' Specifically, the plan includes tokenizing physical assets such as gold, silver, and electricity, while also launching security token offering (STO) services. Meanwhile, Digital X has introduced a zero-fee policy for Korean won trading pairs, effective from Monday and scheduled to run until August 24, 2027. On the corporate side, Mirae Asset Consulting acquired 97.15% of Korbit, the predecessor of Digital X, for 141.4 billion won in July this year. That deal made it the first subsidiary of a financial group to take control of a domestic South Korean cryptocurrency exchange. CoinTelegraph reported the news, citing The Korea Times.910
Mirae Asset2026-08-27 19:00:00Mirae Asset maps out $109 billion crypto, stablecoin and tokenization push around Digital XMirae Asset is planning a 150 trillion won, or about $109 billion, digital asset business centered on Digital X, the exchange formerly known as Korbit, according to The Korea Times. The South Korean financial group’s plan covers crypto, stablecoins, real-world assets and security token offerings, and includes tokenizing physical assets such as gold, silver and electricity. The move follows Mirae Asset Consulting’s July acquisition of a 97.15% stake in Korbit for a cumulative 141.4 billion won, after which the exchange was rebranded as Digital X. The deal marked the first time an affiliate of a South Korean financial group took control of a domestic crypto exchange. Founded in 2013, Korbit was South Korea’s first cryptocurrency exchange, though the Fair Trade Commission said it held just 0.5% of the country’s crypto trading market in 2025. Mirae Asset founder and chairman Park Hyeon-joo said in Seoul on Wednesday that the initial goal is to make Digital X a core pillar of “Mirae Asset 3.0.” Digital X also began waiving trading fees on all won-denominated assets on Monday, with the policy running through Aug. 24, 2027.380

Mirae Asset2026-07-25 20:05:58Mirae Asset takes 97.15% stake in Korbit and rebrands the exchange as Digital XMirae Asset Consulting has secured majority control of Korbit, one of South Korea’s earliest cryptocurrency exchanges, raising its ownership to 97.15% in a deal valued at about KRW 141.4 billion, or roughly $95 million to $102 million based on exchange rates cited in the report. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission approved the acquisition on July 9, 2026, saying the transaction was unlikely to restrict competition, while noting that Korbit held about 0.5% of the local crypto trading market in 2025. Mirae Asset said Korbit’s operating entity, user deposits and core trading services will remain unchanged for now, and client assets will continue to be segregated under existing protection rules. The exchange will be renamed Digital X. Founder and Global Strategy Officer Park Hyeon-joo said the platform is central to Mirae Asset’s 3.0 strategy, with plans to connect tokenized real-world assets, security token offerings, stablecoins, traditional securities and digital assets on one platform. The company said Digital X is not aimed at overtaking Upbit or Bithumb by trading volume, but will instead serve as an infrastructure platform built on Korbit’s existing licenses and user base.2000
