The FIA Asia Conference is the largest derivatives event in Asia organized by the Futures Industry Association (FIA), with over 40 major global exchanges, securities firms, and futures companies participating, and more than 1,000 local investors attending.

At the event, the exchange engaged in on-site sales activities through booth operations to discover potential clients, while also expanding market participation of key investors through one-on-one meetings. In particular, it actively promoted efforts to enhance accessibility to the domestic derivatives market, such as advancing the opening hours of major products and pursuing the establishment of its own night market.

Park Chan-su, Executive Director of the Derivatives Market, stated, "Through individual meetings with global institutional investors in Singapore, the largest investor country in KRX derivatives, we confirmed that interest in the Asian region, especially the domestic derivatives market, has increased." He added, "Since KRX obtained market operation approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore in January this year, enabling local business activities, we will expand KRX's scope through active marketing activities and cooperation with overseas institutions."
