Dunamu to run “Upclass on the Road” for local residents

Dunamu, the operator of Upbit, South Korea’s virtual asset exchange, said on the 2nd that it will run “Upclass on the Road,” a digital finance education program for local residents.

Upclass is a social contribution project that Dunamu has carried out by leveraging Upbit’s expertise. Last year, it provided training not only to nonprofits such as World Vision and the Community Chest of Korea, but also to financial firms including NH Investment & Securities and IBK Investment & Securities.

“Upclass on the Road” is a program in which Dunamu, in partnership with local governments nationwide, visits regions in person to deliver training. A Dunamu official said, “This expands Upclass’s goal—broadening public understanding of digital assets and helping narrow regional gaps in financial information—to the local level.”

The first session was held in Dongjak-gu, Seoul. Previously, from the 15th to the 29th of last month, Dunamu ran roughly three weeks of lectures for Dongjak residents covering an understanding of digital assets and Bitcoin (BTC), major altcoins and stablecoins, and prevention of digital-asset scams.

Oh Kyung-seok, CEO of Dunamu, said, “This program is significant in that Upclass worked together with local governments—the grassroots of our society—and local residents,” adding, “We will continue our efforts so that a sound understanding of digital assets can take root and a healthy investment culture can be established.”
