Coinone app links to Korea Investment & Securities trading system

Coinone said Monday it has added a new tab on the main screen of its app that connects users to Korea Investment & Securities' web trading system (WTS).

The service marks the first collaboration between the two companies since Korea Investment & Securities made a strategic equity investment in Coinone in May.

With the update, a "Stock Investment" tab linking to Korea Investment & Securities has been added to the top of the Coinone app's main screen. Through the tab, users can access a page provided by Korea Investment & Securities to browse domestic shares with high real-time view counts and related information.

After selecting a share of interest and completing Naver authentication, users are directed to the Korea Investment & Securities WTS, where they can view detailed information on individual shares or trade directly. Users without a Korea Investment & Securities account can open one on a separate page before using the service.

Coinone said it expects the integration to improve service accessibility for customers who invest in both digital assets and shares. By enabling direct navigation from the Coinone app to Korea Investment & Securities' stock investment service, the company said it has reduced the steps required to move between the two platforms, enhancing convenience.

"We launched this first collaborative service with Korea Investment & Securities with an eye on the growing number of investors diversifying their asset allocation by investing in both digital assets and shares," Coinone CEO Cha Myung-hun said. "Since the customer bases of digital asset exchanges and securities firms share many common elements, we plan to further expand our areas of collaboration going forward."

Meanwhile, Coinone completed a major shareholder change report with the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (KoFIU) on Wednesday, following an executive change filing on June 26. The company said it will strengthen responsible management and business stability through cooperation with shareholders including Korea Investment & Securities, OKX Ventures and Com2uS Holdings.
