Seoul, South Korea – – A series of strategic partnerships announced today are highlighting the increasing intersection of artificial intelligence, financial technology, and South Korea’s robust cultural industry, as companies seek to expand their global reach. These developments underscore a broader trend of Korean firms leveraging technological innovation to enhance their competitiveness in international markets.
Leading the charge is Waiker, an AI-driven stock market data startup, which has entered into a partnership with Nasdaq to commercialize ‘TotalView.’ This service is designed to address a critical challenge faced by international investors: limited access to the depth of market data routinely available to US institutional traders. According to Waiker, while international investors typically analyze only the top 20 bid and ask prices, Nasdaq’s institutional clients have access to thousands of data points in real-time. The partnership aims to bridge this information gap, potentially leveling the playing field for investors worldwide.
Waiker CEO Hwang Kyu-jong stated that the partnership with Nasdaq represents a significant step towards leveling the playing field for international investors.
While specific details regarding the ‘TotalView’ service and its pricing structure remain undisclosed, the collaboration signals a growing recognition of the importance of data accessibility in global financial markets.
The move by Waiker reflects a wider trend of Korean firms increasingly turning to AI to bolster their position in the global financial landscape. The demand for more sophisticated data analysis tools is driven by the increasing complexity of international markets and the need for investors to make informed decisions quickly.
In a separate, but related, development, IP blockchain infrastructure company Story has forged a strategic partnership with Web3 entertainment firm Witch. This collaboration focuses on accelerating the financial tokenization of Korean content, widely known as K-Content. Witch operates ‘WAVIST’ (wavist.io), a regulated Real World Asset (RWA) investment platform that specializes in tokenizing ownership of entertainment intellectual property, encompassing live events and visual storytelling.
This partnership aims to unlock new revenue streams for Korean content creators and provide investors with opportunities to participate in the financial success of popular cultural products. The use of blockchain technology and tokenization is intended to enhance transparency, security, and liquidity in the K-Content market.
The expansion of beSUCCESS Inc. Into a media group further illustrates the growing importance of effective communication and international networking for Korean companies operating on a global scale. BeSUCCESS, located in Seoul, is a company involved in Online Audio and Video Media, Software Development & Design, and Software, with reported revenues of $6.00 Million and a team of 13 employees. The company’s diversified portfolio of services reflects a comprehensive approach to supporting Korean businesses throughout their internationalization journey.
beSUCCESS can be contacted for media inquiries at [email protected] and for advertising or other inquiries at [email protected]. The company’s address is #535, Parc1 Tower1, 108, Yeoui-daero, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, Korea 07335. BeSUCCESS Inc. Was registered on , and began publication on .
These partnerships – between Waiker and Nasdaq, and Story and Witch – represent a strategic alignment of technological innovation and creative industries. They highlight South Korea’s ambition to not only participate in, but to shape, the future of global finance, and entertainment. The convergence of AI, blockchain, and K-Content is poised to create new opportunities for Korean businesses and investors alike, while also potentially reshaping the landscape of international trade and investment.
The increasing focus on tokenization and data accessibility suggests a broader shift towards a more democratized and transparent global marketplace. As Korean firms continue to embrace these technologies, they are likely to play an increasingly prominent role in the evolving international economic order.
