🌐Beyond trading: building infrastructure for global on-chain finance Our CEO Oh Kyoung-suk took the stage at #KBW2026 to outline the next chapter of Dunamu. We are expanding beyond digital asset trading to build financial infrastructure connecting Korea with global on-chain markets. The strategy is built around three principles: ⚙️ Accessibility - opening Korea to global capital and companies ⚙️ Connectivity - linking digital assets with traditional finance ⚙️ Exportability - taking Korea-built technology and compliance infrastructure global Our foundation spans trading, custody, KYC/AML, Travel Rule, FDS and on-chain transaction tracking with institutional APIs, payments and settlement ahead. The next step: connecting Web3 + Web2 through Naver Financial, expanding Upbit Skills for AI-driven financial services, and building a bridge between Korea’s financial system and the global on-chain economy. Digital assets → institutional infrastructure → Web2 + Web3 → global on-chain finance. #dunamu #upbit #globalonchainfinance

Dunamu brought global regulators, financial institutions, and the digital asset industry together at #UIS2026 🇰🇷 We hosted the Upbit Institutional Summit 2026 at Grand Walkerhill Seoul, bringing together policymakers, regulators, traditional financial institutions, and global digital asset leaders. Participants included Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, and Jonathan Hurowitz, Special Advisor at the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Digital Assets Policy. At the center of #UIS2026: 🔺 Stablecoins & tokenization 🔺 Institutional participation 🔺 Digital asset regulation 🔺 On-chain finance 🔺 AI × blockchain 🔺 Bringing banking, payments & capital markets on-chain The conversation is moving from whether digital assets belong in institutional finance to how blockchain and on-chain infrastructure will shape the global financial system. We also presented GIWA Chain, Dojang, and BOJAGI as part of our infrastructure for the continued development of on-chain finance. UIS is more than an event it is a global platform connecting regulators, traditional finance, and the digital asset industry.

Markets move further when capital moves freely. Financial infrastructure is becoming increasingly global, programmable and connected. Capital can now move across borders, platforms and networks in ways that were difficult to imagine just a few years ago. We’re watching closely as these changes reshape access to financial markets — and create entirely new ways for value to move around the world. ↗️ The next financial system won’t be built in one place.

Backing what’s next. The next generation of companies won’t fit neatly into a single category. Blockchain is becoming financial infrastructure. AI is changing how products are built. Fintech is reshaping how value moves. We invest in the teams bringing these shifts together - and building businesses around them. Dunamu & Partners

Curiosity is a powerful technology. 🔎 Many of the things that changed the way we live began with a question that had no obvious answer. What if humans could fly? What if we could send information across the world in seconds? What if we could explore places we had never seen? - The interesting part is that curiosity doesn’t always lead somewhere immediately. Most questions never become inventions. Most experiments don’t work. And most ideas are forgotten. - But every once in a while, a question opens a door to something entirely new. Progress rarely starts with knowing the answer. It starts with being willing to ask. Dunamu & Partners

The financial system is becoming more connected. 🌐 Stablecoins and onchain infrastructure are opening new ways to move capital across markets - faster, with fewer intermediaries and without traditional borders. What started as crypto-native infrastructure is increasingly becoming part of the broader financial system. The next phase is global. 🚀

Stablecoins vs Card Networks 💳 Adjusted stablecoin transfer volume reached $10.2 trillion over the past 12 months, roughly 4% below Mastercard’s volume over a comparable period. The figure comes with an important caveat: this is on-chain transfer volume, not consumer payment volume. Visa’s adjusted methodology filters out activity such as bots, high-frequency trading, internal exchange treasury movements, and other transactions that do not reflect organic stablecoin usage. Even with that distinction, the scale is notable. Stablecoins are increasingly reaching the kind of transaction volume historically associated with major payment networks. t.me/DunamuPartners

UPDATE: @Visa and @Official_Upbit’s operator, @DunamuPartners, signed a partnership Friday to build stablecoin payments, cross-border remittance, and "agentic commerce" services in which AI agents purchase on users' behalf. Visa's stablecoin settlement crossed a roughly $7 billion annualized run rate as of March. Global President Oliver Jenkyn called AI, stablecoins and tokenization "key trends that will reshape how finance and commerce operate." Commercial launch waits on Korea finalizing stablecoin, AML, KYC and FX rules. The largest card network on the planet is now officially in the agent commerce business.
