Crypto exchange OKX is reportedly discussing a strategic investment in Coinone, South Korea’s third largest cryptocurrency exchange, according to Yonhap News. OKX and Korea Investment & Securities may each acquire roughly 20% stakes through a new share issuance deal. Coinone confirmed ongoing talks with several firms regarding potential equity partnerships but said no agreement has been finalized. The move could strengthen OKX’s presence in South Korea’s tightly regulated crypto market while boosting Coinone’s competitiveness against larger domestic rivals amid rising institutional digital asset interest globally.
