- The group completed its takeover of Korbit for roughly 141.4 billion won in July and Digital X’s board approved a 50 billion won capital injection on Aug. 12 to shore up the exchange.
- Mirae Asset plans four product pillars: cryptocurrency trading, won‑pegged stablecoins, tokenized real‑world assets such as gold or electricity, and security token offerings that record ownership on a blockchain.
- Digital X has launched a zero‑fee program for won‑denominated trading through Aug. 24, 2027 as a customer acquisition measure and Mirae Asset aims to make the unit profitable in 2027.
- South Korea’s new rules to recognize tokenized securities take effect Feb. 4, 2027, but stablecoin issuance and detailed operational rules remain unresolved and will shape how and when Mirae Asset rolls out its products.
