Mirae Asset Transforms Korbit Into Digital X for Tokenized Asset Strategy

Mirae Asset has finalized its acquisition of a 97.15% stake in the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Korbit, rebranding the platform as Digital X. This strategic pivot marks a transition from a traditional crypto exchange model to a comprehensive digital asset ecosystem focused on tokenized real-world assets and security tokens. By integrating Mirae Asset’s financial expertise with blockchain technology, the firm aims to bridge conventional investment frameworks with decentralized finance. The initiative is a core component of the Mirae Asset 3.0 blueprint, which prioritizes regulatory compliance, investor education, and robust infrastructure over mere trading volume. Digital X will incorporate stablecoin integration and advanced investment instruments to cater to both institutional and individual investors. Existing Korbit users will experience no service interruptions, with all assets remaining under mandated segregated custody arrangements. This move signifies a broader institutional trend in South Korea where established financial conglomerates are leveraging existing exchange infrastructure to lead the development of regulated tokenized financial products.
