GTN has entered into an agreement with KOSCOM, South Korea’s leading capital market infrastructure provider, to establish a Global Trading Hub designed to give Korean financial services institutions seamless access to global markets.
The partnership aims to create Korea’s Global Order Hub, a one-stop gateway that will connect Korean securities firms to major exchanges across more than 90 markets through a single counterparty. The initiative is expected to simplify international market access for Korean institutions and support their ability to trade globally with greater efficiency.
Through the agreement, KOSCOM will set up and operate the Global Trading Hub, while GTN will provide the global trading rails that enable connectivity to international exchanges. The collaboration brings together KOSCOM’s strong position in Korea’s capital market infrastructure with GTN’s global market access capabilities.
Korean financial institutions already have established access to U.S. markets. However, this new partnership is designed to extend that reach further by opening broader access to markets worldwide. By connecting local securities firms to a wider international trading network, the Global Trading Hub will support Korean institutions seeking to expand their global investment and execution capabilities.
The move reflects growing demand from financial institutions for simplified, scalable, and reliable access to international markets. As investors increasingly look beyond domestic and U.S. markets, infrastructure that enables broader global connectivity has become essential for securities firms, brokers, and financial service providers.
The Global Trading Hub is expected to help Korean securities firms reduce complexity by offering access to multiple international exchanges through one integrated gateway. This model can support operational efficiency, streamline connectivity, and create a more unified route for global order execution.
For GTN, the agreement reinforces its role as a provider of global trading infrastructure and market access solutions. By partnering with KOSCOM, the company is supporting the development of a key market access initiative in South Korea and helping local institutions expand their reach across global financial markets.
For KOSCOM, the partnership strengthens its mission to support Korea’s capital market ecosystem with advanced infrastructure and technology-led solutions. By operating the Global Trading Hub, KOSCOM will play a central role in enabling Korean financial institutions to connect more effectively with international markets.
The agreement marks an important step in expanding global trading access for Korean securities firms. By combining KOSCOM’s local market infrastructure expertise with GTN’s international connectivity, the partnership is positioned to create a more efficient gateway for Korean institutions to participate in global markets.
With the launch of the Global Trading Hub, GTN and KOSCOM aim to support the next phase of Korea’s international market access, providing institutions with a streamlined solution to connect with exchanges across more than 90 markets worldwide.
