KakaoBank-Coinone Launch Virtual Asset Price Feed Service

KakaoBank has officially launched a 'Virtual Asset Price Inquiry Service' in partnership with virtual asset exchange Coinone. Now, with just the KakaoBank app, users can check real-time prices of traditional financial products like stocks and funds, as well as virtual assets, allowing them to design their own diversified investment portfolios. The key is the ability to compare and analyze various product categories at a glance within the app's 'Investment' menu. In addition to real-time prices provided through the partnership with Coinone, users can quickly check the top 10 virtual assets by trading volume, market capitalization, and price increase/decrease through 'Real-time Asset Rankings'. Prices for many more assets can also be viewed at any time. Particularly noteworthy are the intuitive banners attached to popular Coinone assets, such as "Currently the most searched!" and "This asset currently has the strongest buying power!" Users can obtain useful hints for making investment decisions. For virtual assets of interest, users can directly tap 'Invest in Virtual Assets' from the price inquiry screen to connect to the Coinone app, enabling a one-stop process for actual trading. Coinone's exclusive 'Community Service' can also be found within the KakaoBank app. The 'Real-time P&L Verification' menu allows users to see the top 3 Coinone investors by profit/loss rates, and 'Popular Posts' share various insights on the latest market information and investment trends. Furthermore, key market indicators such as 'Bitcoin Dominance' and 'Korea BTC Premium' are provided, offering significant help in understanding the overall market context. KakaoBank and Coinone have maintained close cooperation, including utilizing KakaoBank certificates for Coinone's customer verification and account linking since last December. Moving forward, they plan to continuously strengthen their cooperation in line with policy changes regarding corporate participation in the virtual asset market. A KakaoBank official stated, "Through this collaboration, we will strive to provide customers with insights related to virtual asset investment and offer a broad investment platform that extends beyond existing brokerage financial products to include virtual assets," clearly articulating its ambition to be a comprehensive financial platform.
