Korbit plans rebrand to Digital X as Mirae Asset takes control

Mirae completed a 97% stake acquisition of Korbit and plans to push into RWA tokenization, security token offerings, and stablecoins.

South Korean crypto exchange Korbit is reportedly set to rebrand as Digital X after becoming part of Mirae Asset Group, according to Cointelegraph. Mirae Asset founder and global strategy officer Park Hyeon-joo shared the new name in an internal email to employees, describing Digital X as central to the group’s “Mirae Asset 3.0” plan that aims to link digital assets with traditional finance. The group said it intends to expand into real-world asset tokenization, security token offerings, stablecoins, and traditional asset products. Park also said the exchange will prioritize anti-money laundering controls, customer verification, information security, and fraud detection as South Korea develops its crypto and tokenized securities rules. Mirae completed its acquisition of a 97% stake in Korbit on Thursday. Korbit said its existing services will continue without changes following the acquisition.
