Coinone said Wednesday it has launched a "virtual asset prices" service that delivers a range of virtual asset information through the Korea Investment & Securities app.

The service is accessible through the "virtual asset prices" tab within the Korea Investment & Securities app. Tapping the tab leads to a separate page provided by Coinone, where users can check real-time prices and price changes for virtual assets traded on the exchange.

The service screen also offers real-time rankings by key categories, including trading value, market capitalization, top gainers, top losers and popular coins. Clicking on an individual asset brings up price-change charts by period, detailed price information, and materials such as white papers, official websites, key information summaries and user guides.

To mark the service's launch, Coinone is running a "find your investment type" event for new subscribers from 10 a.m. that day through Sept. 30. Users who complete a short survey-based investment-type test on the "virtual asset prices" page receive an event code. Entering the code when signing up as a new Coinone user earns 30,000 won ($22) worth of virtual assets, according to the company.

In July, Coinone added a tab on the main screen of its app linking to Korea Investment & Securities' web trading system. Through that tab, users can check investment-related information such as domestic shares with high real-time search volume.

"Following the July launch of the 'stock investment shortcut' service within the Coinone app, this is the second collaborative service we are introducing with our shareholder, Korea Investment & Securities," said Coinone CEO Cha Myung-hoon. "We will continue to make it easier for users to move between the two companies' services, boosting synergy by increasing customer flow between us."
