Robinhood says Mirae Asset interest is an honor, sees room for Korea collaboration

Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood’s senior vice president and general manager for crypto and global business, said at Korea Blockchain Week 2026 in Seoul today that it was an honor for Mirae Asset Securities, one of South Korea’s leading financial platforms, to take interest in Robinhood and use it as a reference in developing its business. According to IT Chosun, Kerbrat added that demand has been rising this year as interest in South Korean equities, including semiconductors and AI, has grown, and said tokenization and blockchain technology could become key tools for expanding market liquidity. In that context, Kerbrat said there could be room for collaboration if blockchain becomes more active in South Korea, where demand for stocks is strong.
