Dunamu, the operator of the cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, reported that it generated a total of 654 billion won in economic and social value last year. This figure reflects not only the economic contributions from operating the exchange but also the monetary value of investor protection, fraud prevention, and social contribution activities.
On November 10, Dunamu announced the release of its '2026 Impact Report,' the first of its kind in the domestic digital asset exchange industry, which quantitatively analyzes the outcomes of its major business and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) activities.
According to the report, the total economic, social, and environmental value created by Dunamu last year was estimated at 654 billion won. This includes: △ Economic contribution 502.5 billion won, △ Safe investment experience 74.5 billion won, △ Industry ecosystem expansion 33.4 billion won, △ Transparent trading environment 28.9 billion won, △ Social contribution activities 12.2 billion won, and △ Environmental and ecological preservation 2.5 billion won.
Economic contributions accounted for approximately 76.8% of the total. This amount was calculated by summing the total cash dividends and corporate tax expenses for the previous year.
The report also disclosed long-term ESG investment results. Dunamu invested 300.3 billion won in ESG activities from 2018 to last year. The cumulative economic contribution from 2021 to last year was recorded at 2.9682 trillion won.
Dunamu outlined its plans to connect the real economy with digital finance through its major services, including Upbit and Securities Plus, as well as its Web 3.0 infrastructure brand 'GIWA.'
Dunamu CEO Oh Kyung-seok stated, "We will continue to fulfill our responsibilities and roles to create a safe and transparent investment environment and sustainable future value based on innovative technology."
