The business ranking of the virtual asset exchange Bithumb rose to 76th from 90th. It recorded the biggest jump among large conglomerate groups.
On the 30th, the Korea Fair Trade Commission announced the "2026 designation status of business groups subject to disclosure," which included these details. This year, the number of business groups subject to disclosure (hereafter disclosure groups) is 102, up 10 from last year. Under the Fair Trade Act, disclosure groups are designated and notified as corporate groups with aggregate asset totals of 5 trillion won or more as of the end of last year. They are commonly referred to as large corporations.
Among large conglomerate groups, the corporations whose ranking based on aggregate asset totals rose the most is Bithumb. Bithumb increased its assets from 5.2 trillion won to 6.6 trillion won, raising its business ranking by 14 places to 76th from 90th. The Korea Fair Trade Commission (FTC) cited increased revenue and operating profit due to last year's recovery in the virtual asset market as the main factors.
