Samsung Securities, Samsung SDS and Samsung Card have decided to acquire a combined 4 percent stake in Dunamu, operator of the country’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

According to Samsung Securities on Wednesday, the three companies will purchase 1.39 million shares worth 612.8 billion won from Kakao affiliates. The stake acquisition consists of 2 percent for Samsung Securities, 1 percent for Samsung SDS and 1 percent for Samsung Card.

The companies said the strategic investment was aimed at creating new business opportunities related to digital assets through cooperation with Dunamu.

Samsung Securities plans to strengthen collaboration with Dunamu in areas including tokenized securities issuance and distribution, as well as virtual asset services, while exploring broader digital asset business opportunities.

Samsung SDS said it intends to combine its expertise in IT services, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, security and data management with Dunamu’s blockchain operational know-how to enhance its blockchain software competitiveness. The company also plans to expand next-generation digital finance infrastructure businesses targeting domestic financial institutions.

Meanwhile, Samsung Card is considering cooperation with Dunamu to build a digital asset payment ecosystem, including support for payments using digital assets through Samsung Financial Networks’ integrated app Monimo if a won-based stablecoin is introduced in the future.
