KB Bank to launch South Korea’s first crypto investment fund

Özet

The investment fund will be the first offered by a bank in the country and is expected to include a type of crypto index and ETFs.

Kookmin Bank is preparing to become the first bank in South Korea to offer crypto investment products to retail investors.

KB announced on Feb. 21 that it had formed a Digital Asset Management Preparatory Committee to determine product and strategy capabilities regarding digital assets and artificial intelligence investment funds. The bank expects to launch crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and futures products. The committee will also assess risk and compliance issues for the investment funds.

The plans were confirmed by KB’s Head of Index Quant Management Honggun Kim in the official release from the bank. He said, “We will launch a virtual asset-themed equity fund, etc. We plan to publish periodicals as well.”

KB Financial Group, the country’s largest by net profit, had about $520 billion in total assets as of September 2021 according to the research platform MacroTrends.

The current plans are to launch a crypto investment index fund and a fund that utilizes an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO), also referred to as outsourced investment management, in order to provide guarantees on principal investments. The OCIO fund may also be used in retirement pensions.

Such OCIO that may be considered includes Grayscale and Fidelity Asset Management, each of which offers crypto investment funds. Fidelity Canada launched a spot Bitcoin ETF last December though such a product has yet to be approved in the U.S.

In launching a new investment fund for its customers, KB is responding to a market that has become increasingly receptive to crypto and nonfungible token (NFT) investments. Close competitor, Shinhan Bank, has dedicated an entire section of its mobile banking app to help customers manage their NFT collections on Klaytn, the country’s leading blockchain.

KB is now following Singaporean megabank DBS by announcing new retail crypto investment products. DBS Bank CEO Piyush Gupta stated on Feb. 14 that the bank would work to scale its crypto operations in 2022.

Jensen Huang's 2026 GTC Taipei Speech: The Era of AI Agents is Here, Computing is Revenue

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's 2026 GTC Taipei speech announces the arrival of the "Agent AI" era, where AI transitions from content generation to performing useful work. Huang positions tokens as units of profit and GDP, driving massive demand for computing power and "AI factories." NVIDIA's strategy revolves around a new computing paradigm centered on AI agents, which combine large language models (LLMs) with agent frameworks for planning, memory, and tool use. Key announcements include: * **Vera Rubin:** A complete, end-to-end system (not just a GPU) designed from the ground up to run AI agents at scale, representing NVIDIA's evolution into an infrastructure company. * **Vera CPU:** A revolutionary CPU architecture built specifically for impatient AI agents, prioritizing low latency, single-thread performance, and massive bandwidth over traditional multi-core throughput. * **Enterprise AI Agent Toolkit:** A suite including open models (like Nemotron 3 Ultra), frameworks, tools, and a secure runtime (Open Shell) to enable every company to build and deploy its own AI agents. * **Next-Gen PCs with Microsoft:** A new line of Windows desktops, laptops, and workstations co-developed with Microsoft, featuring the N1X chip and designed to run local AI agents, redefining the personal computer. * **Physical AI Foundation Models:** Introduction of Cosmos 3 for robotics and physical AI, Alpamayo 2 for autonomous driving, and the Isaac GR00T platform—a fully integrated humanoid robot reference system. Huang emphasizes that the same core agent computing pattern (model + framework + tools + runtime) will extend from the cloud and PCs to robots, factories, and edge devices. He concludes that the industry is fundamentally changed as useful, agentic AI creates a vast new market where "compute is revenue."
