As their first collaborative project, the two sides have agreed to co-host a premium "Digital Asset Forum" in Korea. The Asia Business Daily will be responsible for providing local market insights, inviting major speakers, promoting the event in local media, and offering administrative support. GFTN will leverage its global network to set the international agenda and secure prominent overseas leaders and speakers. Through this collaboration, they plan to bring together domestic and international digital asset experts in one venue and create an in-depth forum for discussion on industry trends and regulatory landscapes.

Beyond hosting the forum, the two companies will also build a long-term cooperative relationship. Specific areas of collaboration include: publishing joint research reports on the Asian digital asset and regulatory environment; exchanging exclusive content such as private market information and expert analyses; and co-developing workshops and webinars for executives.

In particular, an "investment partnership" will also be pursued to maximize financial synergy. The Asia Business Daily, its affiliated investment firms, and GFTN's global funds will seek to make joint investments in promising early-stage companies, aiming to serve as a bridge in the venture ecosystem connecting Korea and the rest of Asia.
