Dunamu (Upbit) Confirms IPO Roadmap Post-Naver Financial Merger
Dunamu said itโll move ahead with its IPO as soon as the share swap with Naver Financial is fully wrapped up. Basically, closing that deal is the key step before listing.
On the buyback risk that came up during the merger process, the company said it has more than enough cash set aside to handle it. It also pointed to last yearโs numbers, posting KRW 1.56T in revenue and KRW 869.3B in operating profit.
From here, the bigger picture is AI + blockchain and overseas expansion. Dunamu says itโs looking at AI agent wallets and trading services, bringing in corporate and foreign clients, and expanding Upbit further globally, including Vietnam.
