Dunamu outlined plans at Korea Blockchain Week 2026 to expand Upbit from a retail-focused trading platform into global on-chain financial infrastructure serving corporations and institutions. Chief Executive Officer Oh Kyung-seok said the company will extend its functions into custody, transfers and verification, combining its trading, custody, Travel Rule compliance and suspicious-transaction detection capabilities with GIWA Chain, Dojang and BOJAGI. The company also used the event to host discussions on U.S. digital-asset regulation, blockchain tracing and applications built on GIWA Chain.
