Should Seniors Learn About Digital Assets? Upbit and the Financial Supervisory Service Offer Answers
Dunamu, the company that operates the digital asset exchange Upbit and is led by CEO Oh Kyung-seok, announced on the 11th that it is recruiting participants for the “Financial Supervisory Service x Upbit Senior Online Financial Education Challenge! Financial Golden Bell (hereinafter Senior Financial Golden Bell)” to strengthen digital financial capabilities among seniors.
This year’s Senior Financial Golden Bell program will be conducted with the Financial Supervisory Service during Global Money Week (GMW), an international financial education campaign organized by the OECD’s International Network on Financial Education (INFE), which is held around the fourth week of March each year. The program focuses on building a foundation for economic independence among seniors and preventing financial crimes such as voice phishing.
Anyone aged 50 or older is eligible to participate. Those wishing to apply can do so via the Senior Financial Education Council website from February 11 to 26. The first 1,200 confirmed participants will receive study materials and YouTube lecture links on February 27, and will independently study a curriculum for about two weeks from March 3 to 16, covering topics such as financial information and investment, pensions, financial fraud prevention, digital assets, and financial consumer protection. The Golden Bell event will be held in four sessions from March 17 to 19 via the Zoom video conferencing platform. A total of 300 top performers will receive Shinsegae gift certificates and coffee vouchers, with prizes including KRW 500,000 for first place, KRW 300,000 for second place, and KRW 100,000 for third place.
The Senior Financial Golden Bell held last year demonstrated excellence as a senior education model. According to a survey of participants in 2025, 87% of respondents were satisfied with the educational content, and 93% said they gained confidence in recognizing and preventing financial and digital asset fraud after participating in the Golden Bell.
Oh Kyung-seok, CEO of Dunamu, said, “As the digital financial environment changes rapidly, seniors are increasingly at risk of being left behind and exposed to financial crimes,” adding, “I hope this event, held in line with OECD Global Money Week, will serve as a turning point for seniors to enjoy smarter and safer economic lives.”
