Mirae Asset Outlines $109B Digital X Expansion After Korbit Deal

According to BlockchainReporter, Mirae Asset Financial Group has outlined a plan to develop Digital X—formerly known as the Korbit exchange—into a 150 trillion won digital-asset business, which is approximately $109 billion. Chairman and founder Park Hyeon-joo presented this strategy to employees on August 27, 2026, targeting profitability for the unit by 2027.

As reported by BlockchainReporter, Digital X will focus on four main business areas: cryptocurrency, stablecoins, real-world assets, and security token offerings. Mirae also intends to explore the tokenization of physical assets such as precious metals and electricity, linking these products to an onchain-finance ecosystem. This follows Mirae's acquisition of a 97% stake in Korbit in July and the subsequent rebranding. Initial competitive steps included a year-long trading-fee waiver.

BlockchainReporter noted that Mirae manages about $1 trillion in assets and plans to leverage its financial network to support Digital X, connecting traditional assets with blockchain-based products. However, the 150 trillion won figure represents a long-term business objective rather than current scale. Execution will depend on South Korea's developing rules for stablecoins, exchanges, and crypto-linked investment products, alongside competition from established domestic exchanges.
