Korea Investment & Securities Partners with @okx to Acquire 40% Stake in @CoinoneOfficial Korea Investment & Securities (KIS) and global exchange OKX are jointly acquiring a 40% stake in South Korean crypto exchange Coinone for an estimated 500 to 600 billion KRW. Under the agreement, KIS and OKX will each secure a 20% share mostly through newly issued stocks, while Coinone's founder and current leadership retain management control. This trilateral alliance aims to launch STO, corporate crypto investment platforms, and prime brokerage services by combining OKX's global infrastructure with KIS's traditional finance expertise. The landmark deal reflects a massive shift in the local market, as financial authorities signal an easing of the strict separation between traditional finance and crypto, sparking a fierce race among local brokerages to secure Web3 market dominance.
