Mirae Asset Group is moving to expand its digital asset business in earnest, with DigitalX at the center. It also expressed an ambition to grow the digital asset institutional sector to 150 trillion won.
Mirae Asset Group said on the 26th that it held an event titled "A New Voyage Begins, Together," inviting DigitalX (DigitalX) executives and employees at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. The event was organized to announce DigitalX's new start and share Mirae Asset Group's mid- to long-term vision, "Mirae Asset 3.0."
Park Hyun-joo, Mirae Asset Group global strategist (GSO), presented the blueprint for "Mirae Asset 3.0" at the event. The company will expand products around four pillars—crypto, stablecoins, real-world asset (RWA), and security token offerings (STOs)—and push to digitize a variety of physical assets, including gold and silver.
Park, the GSO, said, "We will make DigitalX the core pillar of 'Mirae Asset 3.0,' set as our first goal to grow the digital asset institutional sector to 150 trillion won based on 1,500 trillion won in client assets, and achieve profitability in 2027."
The group will also actively work to develop the Blockchain-based "on-chain finance" ecosystem. It plans to enhance competitiveness by discovering new financial products and services that leverage digital assets. Park, the GSO, said, "Don't stay within a set mold; become creative talent who constantly discovers new possibilities."
Going forward, Mirae Asset Group plans to accelerate the establishment of a "global integrated platform" that combines traditional assets and digital assets, with DigitalX at the center. In this process, it plans to comply with global standards through anti-money laundering (AML), know your customer (KYC), information security, and a fraud detection system (FDS).
Meanwhile, Park, the GSO, hinted at the possibility of an additional capital increase for DigitalX in the first quarter. Park, the GSO, said, "If we turn a profit, we plan to conduct a third-party allotment capital increase in the first quarter of next year," adding, "It won't be at par value; we're looking at between 200 billion and 300 billion won, and we will boldly grant the authority to participate in the capital increase."
