Oh emphasized, "Upbit is not content with being the number one domestic exchange; it is establishing itself as Korea's leading digital asset platform, directly competing in the global market based on technological prowess and trust." He added, "In 2024, Upbit achieved results that surpassed the largest exchange in the United States in terms of trading volume."

He continued, "This is clear evidence that a Korean digital asset platform is competing on the global stage with technology and trust, and it clearly demonstrates why we must continue to grow Upbit." He also explained, "Global rating agencies are also clearly recognizing these achievements."

Oh stressed that he would not be satisfied with the current situation and would drive innovation at Upbit.

He explained, "Dunamu views these technological shifts not as threats but as opportunities. We plan to further enhance the platform's competitiveness by strengthening our AI-based technology and data capabilities." He continued, "Ultimately, we will lay a solid technological foundation so that Upbit can evolve into an intelligent digital asset platform."

He further stated, "We will also take the lead in creating a healthy market environment and fulfilling our social responsibilities, based on transparent operations and the practice of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values." He added, "We will grow Dunamu into a leading innovative company representing Korea, enabling it to compete confidently on the global stage."
