Samsung Securities, SDS, and Card acquire a 4% stake in Upbit operator Dunamu for $408M, signaling deeper involvement in South Korea's crypto sector.
三星集团正在韩国的加密货币市场上进行重大押注。 Three of its affiliates—Samsung Securities, Samsung SDS, and Samsung Card—will collectively acquire a 4% stake in Dunamu, the operator of the country’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit.这笔价值 4.08 亿美元的交易来自 Kakao 附属公司，凸显了随着韩国推进加密货币法规，三星在区块链和数字资产领域的影响力不断增强。
According to reports from Yonhap News Agency and ZDNet Korea, the transaction involves the purchase of 1.39 million Dunamu shares.三星证券将收购2%的股份，三星SDS和三星卡各持有1%的股份。 This move follows weeks after Samsung SDS reportedly won a contract to develop South Korea’s blockchain-based securities platform, positioning Samsung across both tokenized securities infrastructure and private-sector crypto operations.
自 2017 年推出 Upbit 以来，Dunamu 一直处于韩国数字资产生态系统的核心地位。多年来，Upbit 已发展成为韩国交易量最大的加密货币交易所，帮助 Dunamu 在该行业发挥了关键作用。杜纳木最近的活动进一步凸显了其市场重要性。 5月15日，韩亚金融集团宣布以6.7亿美元收购Dunamu 6.55%股权，成为第四大股东。 The Samsung deal now reduces Kakao’s stake in Dunamu even further as legacy financial and tech institutions deepen their crypto involvement.
三星的投资来得正是时候。韩国一直在为全面的加密货币和区块链监管奠定基础。 Amendments to the Electronic Registration Act and the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act were passed in January 2026. These amendments legally recognize blockchain-based distributed ledgers as securities registries, with full implementation targeted for early 2027. Dunamu, through its blockchain expertise and Upbit’s dominance, is likely to play a central role in this evolving regulatory environment.
三星和 Dunamu 之间的运营协同效应似乎是此次交易的核心。 Samsung Securities plans to collaborate with Dunamu on tokenized securities issuance and distribution, while Samsung SDS will leverage its expertise in IT, artificial intelligence, and cloud services to enhance Dunamu's blockchain operations. Meanwhile, Samsung Card is expected to explore digital asset payment use cases with Dunamu, potentially integrating crypto features into Samsung Financial Networks' Monimo app as the country prepares for the introduction of won-denominated stablecoins.
这笔交易也符合三星与区块链基础设施开发保持一致的更广泛战略。 Earlier this month, Samsung SDS was awarded the contract to build the Korea Securities Depository’s blockchain-based securities platform, which will serve as the backbone for the country’s tokenized securities market.凭借 Dunamu 的投资，三星现在能够跨越受监管的代币化证券和私人加密货币市场。
对于 Dunamu 来说，与三星的合作伙伴关系进一步巩固了其作为传统金融和加密货币创新之间桥梁的作用。 The company has recently expanded its international footprint, including a strategic MOU with Indonesia Crypto Exchange (ICEx) in April to develop regulated digital asset infrastructure in Indonesia.然而，它也并非没有挑战——Dunamu 在 2025 年底面临价值 3000 万美元的黑客攻击，凸显了该领域持续存在的安全风险。
As South Korea formalizes its regulatory frameworks, including rules for stablecoins and tokenized securities, Samsung’s Dunamu stake positions the tech giant to capitalize on this growing sector.下一个关键里程碑将是 2027 年 2 月 4 日，届时新的基于区块链的证券框架将全面生效。与此同时，所有人的目光都将集中在三星和 Dunamu 如何执行合作伙伴关系，塑造韩国数字资产经济的未来。
