KB Financial Group has established a 100 billion won strategic investment fund, about $71 million, focused on digital assets and artificial intelligence as part of its digital transformation strategy. Managed by KB Investment, the vehicle will target digital-asset market technology companies, AI foundation models and application services, and AI infrastructure startups working on areas such as data inference and analytics. The move highlights how established financial groups are widening exposure to blockchain-related and AI-enabling businesses through dedicated investment vehicles rather than direct token purchases.
