At a press conference held on the morning of June 4, 2026, at the Coinone headquarters in Park One Tower, Yeouido, Seoul, Coinone CEO Myunghun Cha stated, "We will combine the capabilities of the three partner companies and introduce security token offerings (STO) and stablecoins within the legal framework." He added, "In the long term, we aim to grow into a global integrated financial platform that is used worldwide, not just in Korea."

On May 29, 2026, Coinone signed an investment agreement with Korea Investment & Securities, OKX Ventures, and Com2uS Holdings. As a result, Korea Investment & Securities and OKX Ventures each acquired a 20% stake, becoming joint third-largest shareholders. CEO Cha, holding a 30.36% stake, remains the largest shareholder, while Com2uS Holdings, with a 25.54% stake, retains its position as the second-largest shareholder.

This four-party alliance has been in the works since the end of last year. CEO Cha explained, "Since late last year, I have been considering Coinone's growth and thought it would be ideal to attract investments from a major securities firm and a top-tier global exchange. We were able to bring in Korea Investment & Securities and OKX as shareholders." He continued, "Including Com2uS Holdings, the four entities all have different areas of expertise, which clarifies the roles among shareholders. Additionally, with my continued stake in the 30% range, the structure ensures management stability."

Seonghwan Kim, CEO of Korea Investment & Securities, cited Coinone's stability as the main reason for the investment. He stated, "Coinone has demonstrated exceptional security, having never experienced a single incident since its establishment, which we highly value." He emphasized, "Korea Investment & Securities is participating not just as a financial investor (FI) but as a strategic investor (SI). By combining our expertise in the traditional financial sector with Coinone's blockchain technology, we aim to create a new financial paradigm in the digital asset ecosystem."

Star Xu, CEO of OKX, expressed his commitment to supporting Coinone's growth through this collaboration. He said, "The goal of this investment is to ensure Coinone's success, and we plan to share OKX's 13 years of experience with Coinone." He continued, "With the expectation that the blockchain industry will account for up to 50% of the real economy within 10 years, we plan to deliver better products and services through our partnership with Coinone."

Byungjun Song, Chairman of Com2uS Holdings, also expressed high expectations for this equity investment. The investment was made through Korea Investment & Securities and OKX Ventures acquiring some of Com2uS Holdings' existing shares as well as newly issued shares. Chairman Song said, "After more than five years of partnership with Coinone, we have now found the right partner to enable Coinone's quantum leap." He added, "To respond swiftly to the global digital finance market alongside Coinone, Com2uS Holdings agreed to relinquish a certain stake and restructure the shareholder composition."
