Naver

Naver plans to acquire Dunamu, the operator of South Korea’s largest crypto exchange Upbit, through a stock swap, making Dunamu a wholly owned subsidiary. The merger could create a single digital finance platform combining payments, crypto trading, and blockchain services, while Dunamu’s management becomes the dominant voice in the combined company.

Naver is launching its first cryptocurrency wallet, Naver Pay Wallet, in partnership with Chiliz to integrate blockchain technology into South Korea’s digital ecosystem. This wallet will initially serve 33 million Naver users, focusing on utility and loyalty rather than just asset storage, and could expand to support additional blockchains in the future.

Naver 的尖端人工智能机器人在 5G 云的推动下，可能会重塑加密货币交易，但全球基础设施的准备情况和监管障碍仍令人担忧。

韩国 Naver 的目标是将人工智能和云计算出口翻一番，将自己定位为拥有创新解决方案的全球技术领导者。
