US President Donald Trump stated on the 14th (local time) that South Korea's $50 billion investment in the Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) project is part of the trade and investment agreement made with him. This suggests that US trade pressure is directly linked to energy security cooperation.
2. Global crypto companies expand official entry into the domestic market
With stricter regulations on unregistered operations, global crypto companies are actively entering the domestic market through official channels. BitGo and MoonPay are pursuing corporate establishment and registration, while OKX has invested in Korbit, with continuous technical cooperation being unveiled. Exchanges between overseas institutions and domestic financial companies are also expanding during KBW.
3. Vertis IPO hinges on customer and overseas revenue diversification
The initial public offering (IPO) of Vertis, which is expanding the application of proteomic technology, is drawing attention. As the threshold of the domestic IPO market rises and it becomes harder to win market selection based solely on "growth potential" as in the past, customer diversification and the expansion of the overseas revenue share are cited as key variables for box-office success.
