Samsung Securities has been researching its entry into the blockchain-based security tokens market. However, the firm failed to find the staff required to formulate a crypto trading firm.
On the other hand, Mirae Asset Securities rolled out a subsidiary under Mirae Asset Consulting, an affiliated company. The firm is reportedly hiring individuals for research and development that oversees crypto and NFTs.
It should be noted that South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol had previously affirmed that he would roll out crypto-friendly laws, and Terra did bring about some roadblocks. However, untethered by the project, prominent firms like Samsung and Mirae seem to be veering into the crypto-verse.
