The shares involve a combination of existing shares held by Coinone\u2019s two largest shareholders as well as newly issued shares. Korea Investment\u2019s outlay was reported to be in the tens of billions of won (ten billion is $6.5 million).<\/p>\n<p>OKX Ventures is the investment arm of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ledgerinsights.com\/tag\/okx\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OKX<\/a>, one of the largest global crypto exchanges. Its involvement brings an international dimension that the recent wave of Korean exchange investments has otherwise lacked. The deal gives Coinone a shareholder structure split between its founder (30.36%), gaming company Com2uS Holdings (24.54%), and the two new investors at 20% each.<\/p>\n<p>The OKX investment also raises questions for Korean regulators. A won stablecoin distributed through an exchange with ties to a major global trading platform could facilitate offshore circulation, precisely the kind of capital flow concern that has driven the Bank of Korea\u2019s insistence on bank-led issuance. That said, OKX\u2019s motivation may be more about tapping into a geography where consumers show a very high affinity to trading, both crypto and securities.<\/p>\n<p>Article continues \u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"70\" height=\"119\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1780067778_517_subscriber-padlock-small.png\" alt=\"subscriber padlock\" class=\"wp-image-39468\" style=\"width:55px\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);font-size:14px\">Want the full story? <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.ledgerinsights.com\/pricing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pro subscribers<\/a> get complete articles, exclusive industry analysis, and early access to legislative updates that keep you ahead of the competition.
