Mirae Asset Aims for $109 Billion Digital Asset Empire with New Crypto Exchange

South Korea's Mirae Asset Financial Group is making a major push into digital finance. The company plans to build a $109 billion digital asset business around its recently acquired cryptocurrency exchange, Digital X.

Mirae Asset Founder and Chairman Park Hyeon-joo said the goal is to make Digital X a core pillar of 'Mirae Asset 3.0' and grow the digital asset business to 150 trillion won by leveraging the group's 1,500 trillion won in client assets.

The company will focus on four key areas: cryptocurrency, stablecoins, real-world assets (RWA), and security token offerings (STO). It plans to tokenize physical commodities like gold, silver, and electricity, develop customized financial products, and make proprietary investments.
