It is also pursuing a share-swap plan under which it would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Naver Financial, subject to ongoing regulatory review.[[1]](#cite-id-0evttaj6sbwa)[[22]](#cite-id-t6udtp7t3w)\n\n## Overview\n\nDunamu was established in April 2012 to provide digital and securities investment services, and operates [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit), Korea’s largest and first licensed digital asset exchange, along with the stock application service Securities Plus.[[21]](#cite-id-crzu8840ze)[[1]](#cite-id-0evttaj6sbwa) It also launched Securities Plus Unlisted to expand customers' access to unlisted equities and provides asset management services through Maplus for customers who find stock investment difficult.[[2]](#cite-id-8puafpywc09)​ \n\nSince 2021, Dunamu has operated as Korea’s first registered virtual asset service provider and has invested in AI-based financial services, including an in-house AI conversion model that was rated first in a global evaluation index in early 2024, as well as a [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) security training program launched through Upside Academy in 2024.[[1]](#cite-id-0evttaj6sbwa) In 2023 it upgraded [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit)’s settlement engine to handle up to KRW 1 quadrillion in daily digital asset settlements, positioning the exchange as part of the country’s broader financial infrastructure.[[1]](#cite-id-0evttaj6sbwa) Dunamu has also announced a planned share swap with Naver Financial that would make it a wholly owned subsidiary, but the transaction has been postponed multiple times and remains subject to competition, financial, and virtual-asset regulatory approvals.[[22]](#cite-id-t6udtp7t3w)\n\n## Governance and Ownership\n\nDunamu was founded by [Song Chi-hyung](https://iq.wiki/wiki/song-chi-hyung), who established the company in 2012 and later became chairman of the board of directors in January 2018.[[1]](#cite-id-0evttaj6sbwa) As chairman, Song oversees the company’s strategic direction while executive management is handled by the chief executive officer.[[1]](#cite-id-0evttaj6sbwa) \n\n[Lee Sirgoo](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lee-sirgoo) served as CEO from late 2017 until his resignation, which was announced in May 2025 and took effect on July 1, 2025.[[23]](#cite-id-j4hbjjfgza) In May 2025 Dunamu’s board nominated [Oh Kyoung-suk](https://iq.wiki/wiki/oh-kyoung-suk) as the next chief executive, and he was formally appointed CEO at a shareholders’ meeting on June 27, 2025.[[23]](#cite-id-j4hbjjfgza) \n\nDunamu is in the process of being integrated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Naver Financial through a comprehensive share swap under which Naver would obtain full ownership while maintaining overall voting control.[[24]](#cite-id-ubv1jp7b85) The transaction has been delayed multiple times and remains subject to approvals from Korea’s Fair Trade Commission and financial regulators, as well as to the evolving regulatory framework for digital assets, including the Digital Asset Basic Act.[[24]](#cite-id-ubv1jp7b85)\n\n##

proof-of-concept overseas remittance system completed in February 2026 that replicated key functions of the SWIFT payment system and commercial testing with POSCO International in April 2026, and outlined plans to develop infrastructure for a won-based [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) and cross-border payments covering issuance, payments, distribution, and integration with Hana’s international banking network.[\\[25\\]](#cite-id-hn4whfcyuw)​\n\nOn August 28, 2026, Dunamu, the operator of South Korean cryptocurrency exchange [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit), announced a partnership with Visa to explore [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin)-based payment and financial services.[\\[20\\]](#cite-id-zB1oldgAglXkKGvc) The collaboration examines OUSD-based business models, cross-border remittances, and new payment and settlement experiences, combining Dunamu’s [digital asset](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) infrastructure with Visa’s global payments network and exploring AI-powered payment services and agentic commerce, with any commercial rollout dependent in part on South Korea’s evolving regulatory framework for [stablecoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) and [digital assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets).[\\[20\\]](#cite-id-zB1oldgAglXkKGvc) \n\nIn August 2026 South Korea’s Ministry of the Interior and Safety designated Dunamu as a joint administrative information-use institution, allowing [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit) to access eligible government-held administrative data directly for certain know-your-customer procedures.[\\[22\\]](#cite-id-t6udtp7t3w) This approval followed regulatory scrutiny by the Financial Intelligence Unit and the Financial Supervisory Service over [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit)’s KYC and anti-money laundering controls and its response to a wallet breach reported in November 2025.[\\[22\\]](#cite-id-t6udtp7t3w)​\n\nIn 2026 Dunamu and Naver Financial continued work on a proposed share exchange that would make Dunamu a wholly owned subsidiary of Naver Financial while Naver retains overall voting control.[\\[22\\]](#cite-id-t6udtp7t3w) The transaction, which has been postponed twice, has an expected completion date of December 31, 2026, and remains contingent on approvals from the Fair Trade Commission and financial regulators overseeing major shareholder changes and financial transaction reporting requirements, amid broader changes such as the introduction of South Korea’s Digital Asset Basic Act.[\\[22\\]](#cite-id-t6udtp7t3w)​\n\n### 2025\n\nIn May 2025 Dunamu announced that CEO [Lee Sirgoo](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lee-sirgoo) would resign effective July 1, 2025, and nominated [Oh

Dunamu upgraded [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit)’s settlement engine to handle up to KRW 1 quadrillion in daily digital asset settlements and adopted an upgraded anti-money laundering system,

As the cryptocurrency market matures, there is an increasing need for an index that can function as a useful reference tool. \n\nUBCI serves as an intersection between the blockchain-based cryptocurrency market and the existing financial market, and it draws on benchmarking practices that have been validated for a long time in the traditional stock market.[[5]](#cite-id-thv8rwla31b)​\n\n ![](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmXnVuE78XtK8aSbTrhm5C3Wbn7MpNueg3yci6LstSJQ78) \n\n### Luniverse\nLuniverse is a BaaS platform developed by Lambda 256 to provide an environment for users to easily develop and operate [DApps](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application), launched in March 2019.
