Digital Chamber announced on July 14 that Dunamu, the parent company of Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, has joined Digital Chamber, becoming the latest member of the world’s largest digital-asset lobbying group. The move is seen as the first time a Korean exchange has formally entered the U.S. regulatory policy circle, allowing Upbit to directly participate in discussions on U.S. digital-asset policy.
Digital Chamber Announces Upbit’s Membership
According to Digital Chamber’s official announcement on X, Upbit, under Dunamu, officially joined Digital Chamber on July 14, 2026, becoming the newest member.
Digital Chamber was founded in 2014, headquartered in Washington, D.C., and is the world’s largest digital-asset lobbying organization. It represents the broader digital-asset industry and has long been committed to promoting a clear regulatory environment and the development of industry policies. The chamber said it looks forward to working with Upbit and welcomed its entry into the group’s global member community.
Upbit Operates in South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand
According to Digital Chamber’s announcement, Upbit is South Korea’s largest digital-asset exchange, offering a wide range of trading services, and it also operates in Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand, with its business influence extending across Asia. In recent years, Upbit has continued to expand its international footprint. This April, Upbit and Indonesia’s digital-asset exchange ICEx signed a strategic cooperation memorandum of understanding (MOU), helping to strengthen Indonesia’s local digital-asset infrastructure. Joining Digital Chamber means Upbit will further extend its presence from Southeast Asia into the U.S. policy circle.
Strategic Significance of Joining Digital Chamber: Direct Participation in U.S. Policy Discussions
According to reports, joining Digital Chamber enables Upbit to directly participate in discussions on U.S. digital-asset policy, rather than only passively experiencing the spillover effects of U.S. regulation frameworks. As the U.S. continues to develop digital-asset-related legislation, whether it can enter the front line of policy making will shape global exchanges’ future compliance strategies and market influence.
Upbit’s joining Digital Chamber may also provide a new overseas lobbying template for other Asian exchanges.
