As the world's largest event for the global listed derivatives and cleared swaps community, the trade show drew more than 4,000 industry experts to share new market trends and keep abreast of the latest developments in technology and regulations in the field, according to the organizer.

"After winning permission to launch direct sales activities from the US Securities and Exchange Commission last month, we participated in the event and have launched proactive marketing efforts to attract foreign investors," the KRX said in a release.

The Seoul bourse also attended the 6th Trading Asia Symposium involving six major exchanges in Asia, including Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, and aimed at boosting connections with neighboring countries for joint marketing efforts, it noted. (Yonhap)
