Dunamu, the operator of the country’s largest virtual asset transaction exchange, saw its operating profit for 2024 increase by 85.1% compared to the previous year.

According to the 2024 annual business report disclosed by Dunamu on the 27th, the company's consolidated operating profit for last year was 1.1863 trillion won, up 85.1% from 640.9 billion won the previous year. Operating revenue (sales) amounted to 1.7316 trillion won, a 70.5% increase from 1.1054 trillion won the previous year. Net profit for the period was 983.8 billion won, an increase of 22.2% from 805 billion won the previous year.

The performance improvement for Dunamu last year is analyzed to have been influenced overall by the arrival of the Bitcoin (BTC) halving and favorable investment sentiment. Additionally, the optimism surrounding the expected implementation of pro-virtual asset policies following the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States in November, as well as the expansion of global liquidity due to the Federal Reserve's (Fed) easing interest rate policies, positively impacted the performance.
