가상화폐 거래서 오케이코인 한국 시장에 런칭

베이징 거래소인 오케이코인이 NHN 엔터테이먼트와 파트너쉽을 체결하면서 한국 시장에 가상화폐거래소를 런칭한다고 밝혔다.

오케이 코인은 2013년 중국에 설립되어 2017년 10월 중국 규제로 인하여 임시 폐업에 들어갔다.

이후 장외거래 방식으로 운영되고 있으며, 현제 국제시장으로 눈을 돌려 더 넓게 발전 시켜 나갈것으로 보인다.

Cryptocurrency exchange OKCoin is reportedly moving to launch in South Korea – possibly as soon as next month.

According to The Korea Times, the Beijing-based firm is eyeing a partnership with NHN Entertainment, a Korean developer, publisher, and distributor of mobile and PC games, for the venture.

The news source suggests that NHN is considering the partnership and an equity investment, though the move has apparently not been finalized

OKCoin was established in China in 2013, but had to shutter its domestic exchange operations in October 2017, following Chinese regulators' crackdown on cryptocurrency exchanges. Since then, the company has shifted to an over-the-counter model, and turned its attention to international markets.

The exchange has already put in place the OKCoin Korea website and is accepting pre-orders for cryptocurrencies before the official launch. It aims to offer more than 60 digital currencies to be traded against the Korean won, according to the site.

The timing of the launch comes at a time when the nation's government has issued restrictions on cryptocurrency trading activities and is mulling a harsher crackdown on exchange-based trading.

Cho Jung-hwan, CEO of OKCoin Korea, told The Investor that OKCoin is compliant with all the Korean regulatory requirements, and said, "there won’t be any problems."
