South Korean brokerages are expanding beyond traditional stock trading as policy discussions on digital assets and the spread of generative AI accelerate. Mirae Asset Securities renamed its M-STOCK mobile trading system MAPS, or Mirae Asset Portfolio Service, and converted it into an integrated platform covering stocks, bonds and coins. The app currently provides digital-asset market and blockchain information but does not support digital-asset trading. Daol Investment & Securities launched MCP Trading, which connects securities accounts with generative-AI interfaces including ChatGPT and Claude for domestic and overseas stock trading, portfolio risk diagnostics and sector-concentration analysis. Orders require customer approval after a preview and are executed locally on the user’s PC. Korea Investment & Securities signed a memorandum of understanding with Kakao, KakaoBank and Kakao Pay covering digital-asset issuance and distribution, investment, remittances, settlement, wallets, custody and links to customer-facing services. The companies will also examine new digital-asset businesses and related infrastructure. The agreement expands earlier discussions between Korea Investment & Securities and KakaoBank on wallets, stablecoins and tokenized securities, while their connection through Coinone provides an existing business link.
