The bank announced on Monday the formation of a digital asset management committee aimed at launching crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and related products as soon as the country’s regulations allow.

Hong-Gom Kim, head of index quantitative management at Kookmin Bank, said: "We will launch a virtual asset-themed equity fund as soon as possible, and plan to hold virtual asset conferences and publish journals for clients."
