Nexxus CEO Jang Hyun-guk: “Opening up virtual asset exchanges will become a channel for foreign capital inflows”

[The Financial News] “There are already sectors where foreign capital finds Korea attractive and can invest immediately.”
Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of Nexxus (NEXUS), stated that opening the market centered on virtual asset exchanges could lead to an inflow of foreign capital and help stabilize the exchange rate.
On the 9th, Jang wrote on a Social Networking Service (SNS) about Korea’s exchange-rate volatility and capital flow issues, pointing to virtual asset exchanges as a sector already drawing strong interest from foreign investors. He argued that if foreign individuals and companies are allowed to use domestic virtual asset exchanges and sufficiently vetted derivatives are introduced, foreign capital could flow in rapidly.
He particularly forecast that such capital inflows would not be limited to a short-term rise in investment, but could spread across the broader blockchain industry by expanding the scale of domestic digital asset trading. As trading activity increases, he explained, it could translate into industrial growth and foster a competitive ecosystem that combines finance and industry.
Jang also stressed that this approach is not a policy designed for a specific interest group. In his view, not only exchanges, foreign investors, and domestic participants, but also the government could benefit in terms of exchange-rate stability and stronger industrial competitiveness. He added that the market infrastructure and technological foundations are already in place, so implementation would not be particularly difficult.
His remarks are being interpreted as a proposal to use the virtual asset market as a channel for foreign capital inflows amid growing concern over the recent rise in the exchange rate and capital outflows. Unlike traditional solutions focused on manufacturing or conventional finance, his suggestion draws attention as a call to leverage the digital asset market, where Korea already enjoys global competitiveness.
