Hanwha Investment & Securities completed a strategic investment of approximately KRW 18 billion in Kresus, a U.S.-based Web3 infrastructure company. Kresus offers seedless recovery technology and MPC-based security capabilities that enable enterprises to deploy digital wallet solutions and Real-World Asset platforms.
The investment follows an MOU signed during Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025, signaling an intent to deepen collaboration beyond an equity stake. Both companies plan to pursue long-term technical cooperation, with Hanwha aiming to apply Kresus’s seedless wallet security and tokenization infrastructure to enhance consumer digital asset services and actively develop RWA markets linked to existing financial products.
Trever Traina, CEO of Kresus, described Hanwha as a trusted partner with a firm vision to build transparent and secure digital asset services. Son Jong-min, Executive Vice President of Strategy at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said the combination of Kresus’s wallet security technology and RWA infrastructure will play a key role in advancing Hanwha’s digital asset capabilities, and that the firms will continue to work with leading technology companies to become a premier digital asset-focused securities firm. Hanwha has also accelerated its broader Web3 strategy by adding the Kresus investment to its recent stake in the digital asset data platform Xangle, underscoring its aim to build a global Web3 financial ecosystem.
