Samsung plans to launch its own crypto exchange in 2023

 


Samsung Securities, the tech giant's investment firm, is considering launching its own cryptocurrency exchange next year.


According to local South Korean media, Samsung is not the only major company in the country planning to make new moves into the crypto world. Six other major public companies, including Mirae Asset Securities , also have plans for their own crypto exchanges in 2023 .


These companies all deal in securities directly. And now they are reportedly working with South Korean financial authorities to obtain licenses for exchanges . According to the available information, the talks are already in the final phase.


Samsung and the crypto world

Considered to be one of the biggest companies in the tech space, Samsung is planning to launch its own crypto exchange through Samsung Securities . This is another example of how this giant corporation is adapting to the new industry.


As early as 2021, Samsung launched several initiatives in this area. The South Korean giant has not only developed a wallet function for its Galaxy series smartphones, but also a TV that supports NFTs and the Cardano blockchain.


Local media claim the planned exchange would focus on security tokens . Last year, Samsung tried to launch a trading platform for these assets. At the time, however, the company was unable to proceed with the project due to a lack of specialized professionals.


South Korea's new crypto course

South Korea has historically closely monitored the crypto world. Last year, local regulators banned more than 60 platforms from trading cryptocurrencies . Affected companies were forced to register and comply with the rules of the FIU, the largest local financial regulator. Otherwise they would not have been able to resume their activities.


Dozens of exchanges failed to comply with the set parameters and closed their doors over the past year. However, the four largest South Korean crypto exchanges — Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, and Korbit — got their licenses.

After the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, the government continued to tighten its oversight of the stock exchanges . Not to forget that Do Kwon, founder of Terraform Labs, was born in South Korea and is under investigation locally.


However, the Asian country has become more open to the crypto industry following the inauguration of its new president, Yoon Suk-Yeol, in May . The politician is a crypto enthusiast and promises to raise the limit on tax-free profits from investing in digital assets.


The ability for large local companies to launch their own exchanges could be a big step forward for South Korea. The state could emerge as a cryptocurrency hub in the Asian continent.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
