[South Korea's New Securities Exchange Considers Launching K-pop Tokens to Attract More Traders] According to a report by Jinse Finance, as an emerging competitor to South Korea's major securities exchange, this startup trading platform is hoping to launch innovative products, such as digital tokens linked to K-pop song copyrights, to further expand its appeal following a strong start. Nextrade, an alternative trading system, broke South Korea's 70-year exchange monopoly this March by extending trading hours. CEO Kim Haksoo stated that the company is considering introducing over-the-counter trading products to achieve differentiation. Long-term plans also include leveraged and inverse ETFs, advanced order systems, and non-public institutional orders derived from the "dark pool" concept.
