Summary

Hana Bank will buy a 6.55% stake in Dunamu, the operator of South Korea’s largest crypto exchange Upbit, for about 1 trillion won ($670 million), making it the company’s fourth-largest shareholder. The deal, set to close June 15, comes as South Korea advances a Digital Asset Basic Act and tighter security rules for crypto exchanges. Hana and Dunamu plan to jointly develop won-pegged stablecoins, blockchain-based remittances, tokenized securities and digital asset management. The bank, which has roughly $42 billion in assets under management, will buy 2.28 million shares from Kakao Investment, according to regulatory filings released Friday and cited by Maeil Business and the Korea Herald.
