Korea Exchange (KRX, Korean: 한국거래소) is the sole securities exchange operator in South Korea. It is headquartered in Busan, and has an office for cash markets and market oversight in Seoul.

History

The Korea Exchange was created through the integration of Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), Korea Futures Exchange and KOSDAQ Stock Market under the Korea Stock & Futures Exchange Act. The securities and derivatives markets of former exchanges are now business divisions of Korea Exchange: the Stock Market Division, KOSDAQ Market Division and Derivatives Market Division. As of December 2020, Korea Exchange had 2,409 listed companies with a combined market capitalization of ₩2.3 quadrillion KRW (US$2.1 trillion). The exchange has normal trading sessions from 09:00 am to 03:30 pm on all days of the week except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays declared by the Exchange in advance.[3]

On 22 May 2015, the Korea Exchange joined the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges initiative in an event with the UN-SG Ban Ki-moon in attendance, as well as senior officials from UN Global Compact and UNCTAD.[4]

On 10 April 2025, the KOSPI and KOSDAQ soared when President Donald Trump announced that he would suspend the mutual tariffs. In response, the Korea Exchange triggered a buy sidecar for the KOSPI market at 09:06 a.m. for the first time in eight months.[5]

In April 2025, the Korea Exchange signed a contract with the Thai Stock Exchange to supply the system for liquidation and settlement. A source at the exchange said it expects the deal to further strengthen the position of the Korean stock market infrastructure in Southeast Asia.[6]

It recommended Cheon Sang-young, Vice President of Shinhan, as the president candidate for Shinhan Life, and Lee Seok-won, former Head of the Strategy Division at the National Pension Service’s Fund Management Headquarters, as the president candidate for Shinhan Asset Management. This marked the replacement of two out of four subsidiary CEOs whose terms were expiring.
