  • According to numerous local media, Naver Corp (035420 KS) is set to acquire Dunamu, the operator of Upbit which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Korea.

  • According to Naver Corp (035420 KS), its subsidiary, Naver Financial, is discussing various collaborations with Dunamu, including stablecoins and potential stock exchange. However, nothing has been finalized so far.

  • If Dunamu is valued at 15 trillion won, this would suggest a P/E of 18x based on 2025 annualized net profit of 836 billion won (net profit in 1H25 annualized).
