Japan’s <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.sbigroup.co.jp/english/news/pdf/2024/0704_a_en.pdf" target="_blank">SBI Group</a> and South Korea’s Kyobo Life Insurance Group announced a strategic business partnership agreement on July 4. The companies are extending their collaboration after success in venture capital and fintech sectors, including a venture capital fund in Southeast Asia. 
SBI and Kyobo will explore establishing a digital financial ecosystem in Korea and working with others on the Security Token Offering (STO) business. An STO is a type of public offering in which tokenized digital securities, known as security tokens (STs) are issued based on specific assets. It uses blockchain technology to improve transparency and accessibility to traditional investment products. 
In addition, they will jointly identify opportunities in the issuance and distribution of ST and conduct joint research. Kyobo’s STO business Kyobo Securities will help both companies in the STO business. 
“This partnership with SBI is significant in that it aims to provide better products and services to customers in a timely manner by building a wider network in the digital finance sphere,” said a Kyobo Life official.
