<p>South Korean securities firm Mirae Asset Securities <a href="https://www.news1.kr/articles/5163137" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> yesterday the expansion of its security token working group. This development includes the addition of two new media-related companies to the group: Studio Genius, a content production house, and Solaire Partners, a venture capital firm with a specific focus on the media industry. Mirae has chosen to collaborate with these companies to jointly develop security token products centered around Korean films and TV series.</p><h2 id="header-0">Synergy between Korean content and finance</h2><p>The Korean securities company claims that since the Financial Services Commission unveiled regulatory guidelines for security tokens in February, it increased focus on exploring the synergy between Korean content and finance. In support of this, data from the Korea Creative Content Agency indicates that as of 2022, the Korean content market stands as the world’s seventh-largest, experiencing an average annual growth rate of 11%.</p><p>Studio Genius, established by Yang Woo-suk, the director behind the box office success “The Attorney,” is currently in the process of producing a TV series with a global audience in mind.</p><p>Meanwhile, Solaire Partners was a key investor in the critically acclaimed movie “Parasite.” This investment company, founded in 2017, is led by Choi Pyung-ho, a seasoned expert in content production. Prior to founding Solaire Partners, Choi held the position at CJ Entertainment (now CJ ENM) as head of its film business.</p><h2 id="header-1">Fractional investment and blockchain tech</h2><p>Other participants who are newly joining the group include Treasurer, a luxury goods fractional investment platform, as well as Coinplug and Zkrypto, both technology companies. In collaboration with Treasurer, Mirae intends to discuss the valuation and commercialization of luxury goods, which hold substantial investment potential. Subsequently, they plan to explore various avenues for integrating security tokens into their business strategies.</p><p>Coinplug is the first company in Korea to commercialize blockchain-based certificates for the financial sector. Positioned as a Web3 technology company, Coinplug boasts a diverse portfolio of blockchain technologies, including decentralized identity (DID), mainnets, wallets, decentralized applications (dApps), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).</p><p>Zkrypto stands as a prominent leader in South Korea within the realm of zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology. This distinction is underscored by its product, which received an innovation award at CES in Las Vegas earlier this year. Mirae holds the belief that ZK-proof technology will play a pivotal role in facilitating enhanced privacy protection and accelerated transaction speeds for security tokens.</p><h2 id="header-2">Another collaborative endeavor</h2><p>In addition to the aforementioned working group, Mirae is running the Next Finance Initiative, a consortium with the primary goal of broadening the security token ecosystem. Partners in this consortium are the two notable entities: SK Telecom and Hana Financial Group. Mirae will strive to further grow and enhance the reach of this consortium.</p>
