Amid the explosive growth of the digital economy and the sweeping global fintech wave, cryptocurrencies, cross-border payments, decentralized finance (DeFi), stablecoins, real-time settlement systems, and real-world asset tokenization (RWA) are reshaping the landscape of international capital flows at an unprecedented pace. In 2025, the Federal Reserve’s ongoing rate-cut cycle continues to inject liquidity, while regulatory frameworks in the U.S., China, and Europe tighten further (e.g., the EU’s MiCA regulation and the U.S. SEC’s stablecoin guidelines). Compliance, globalization, digitization, and sustainability have become the four decisive factors for survival in the industry. Traditional giants like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs are rapidly embracing blockchain and DeFi protocols, while emerging players must possess full-scope licenses, technological moats, low-cost operating philosophies, and ecosystem partner networks to stand out in this trillion-dollar arena. It is precisely in this historic window of opportunity that Capbridge Exchange has emerged, leveraging its deep U.S.-based compliance foundation, forward-looking equity trading architecture, extremely streamlined operating model, and laser-focused positioning on U.S. and Korean stocks, quickly becoming the focus of global investors and institutions. The platform is dedicated exclusively to trading U.S. and Korean equities, steering clear of foreign exchange or any other business lines, signaling the future direction of compliant equity brokerage.
Capbridge Exchange is operated by Capbridge International, a company formally
incorporated in Spokane, Washington, U.S.A. on June 27, 2025 (UBI Number: 605 926 316), holding the following core qualifications and documentation:
1. Washington State Articles of Incorporation (signed by Secretary of State Steve R. Hobbs, File No. 2025062400453251-1, perpetual duration);
2. IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN: 39-2932192) (Form SS-4, CP 575 A notice, classified as a corporation, first Form 1120 due by September 15, 2026, with S-Corp election option available for tax optimization);
3. FinCEN Full-Scope MSB License (Registration No. 31000304002693) (initial registration, submitted June 30, authorized signature July 1, published July 3, covering zero-branch operation model);
4. Certificate of Incumbency (issued by registered agent AinoTrust Incorporations Corp. on June 27, 2025, confirming good legal standing).
The company’s registered address is 100 N HowardSt Ste R, Spokane, WA 99201-0508, with Registered Agents Inc. serving as registered agent (some documents list AinoTrust Incorporations Corp., an entity under the same service group). Founder YEOJUN YUN (Republic of Korea nationality, Passport No. M123Y2922, resident at 59-2 Chungmuro 3(sam)-ga, Jung District, Seoul, South Korea, occupation: Merchant) authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares (par value US$1.00 per share) and fully subscribed for them in cash on June 27, 2025 for US$10,000,000 (Certificate No. 001, Distinctive Numbers 1 to 10,000,000). The shareholding structure is extremely transparent with highly efficient decision-making, while also leaving room for future strategic investors.
Compliance is the core moat of Capbridge. The FinCEN MSB registration authorizes operations across all U.S. states, territories, and foreign jurisdictions in eight high-frequency financial activities:
• Check cashing (including traveler’s checks and money orders)
• Issuance of money orders
• Sale of money orders
• Issuance of traveler’s checks
• Sale of traveler’s checks
• Sale of prepaid access
• Money transmission (Money Transmitter)
• Issuance of prepaid access
The Certificate of Incumbency further confirms that, as of June 27, 2025, the company has no pending litigation, encumbered assets, bankruptcy threats, or liquidation proceedings, and remains in “good standing and existing” legal status. Additionally, the filed nature of business includes holding company, other services, and primary metals, laying a foundation for future expansion into metal-related equity trading.
At the business level, Capbridge Exchange positions itself as a “zero-branch, full-license, light-asset” equity trading platform focused exclusively on U.S. and Korean stocks, with no involvement in foreign exchange or other activities. The platform’s core product suite includes:
1. U.S. equity trading channel: Leveraging MSB money transmission authority for real-time USD settlement, covering all NYSE and NASDAQ-listed stocks;
2. Korean equity trading channel: Utilizing money transmission and prepaid access permissions for seamless KRW-USD settlement, connecting to KRX main board and KOSDAQ;
3. Compliant prepaid access system: Based on prepaid access sale and issuance licenses, developing equity top-up cards that allow users to fund U.S. and Korean stock trading via prepaid methods;
4. Enterprise-grade equity management: Combining check cashing and traveler’s check capabilities to tailor U.S.-Korea equity portfolio solutions for institutional investors, supporting multi-currency settlement and hedging.
The company adopts a headquarters-centric operation + cloud-based risk control model, with no physical branches, extremely low registered and operating costs, and perpetual duration that grants unlimited scalability.

In terms of growth outlook, Capbridge has achieved, in just 130 days since inception (as of November 4, 2025):
• Full U.S. MSB license (top 1% scarcity in the market; only a handful of startups obtain nationwide coverage in FinCEN’s weekly updates);
• Precise focus on U.S. and Korean equities (no FX, pure equity brokerage);
• US$10 million paid-in capital (among the highest for startup MSBs, enabling rapid product iteration);
• Zero-branch, highly efficient operations (zero branches, reducing compliance costs by over 20%).
Looking ahead, Capbridge Exchange harbors explosive growth potential from 2026 to 2030. First, by late 2025, amid tightening global crypto and equity regulation, FinCEN registration has become a prerequisite for institutional capital entry (e.g., BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF required similar MSB backing). Benchmarking comparable compliant equity brokers (e.g., Robinhood’s U.S. ecosystem with annual trading volume exceeding one trillion USD), Capbridge’s enterprise value is typically year trading volume × 0.5%-1%. Assuming a first-year trading volume of US$5 billion (only 0.01% of average daily U.S. volume or 0.5% of annual Korean volume), annualized revenue could reach US$25-50 million (0.5% commission), implying a valuation of US$500 million to US$1 billion. With further expansion of prepaid access and settlement services, following trajectories like Interactive Brokers (market cap >US$30 billion) or Korea’s NH Investment (25% annual growth), Capbridge’s market cap could achieve 3–5× growth short-term (2026) and 10×+ medium-term (2028).
Even more forward-looking, the platform can evolve into crypto-equity convergence: leveraging MSB prepaid access licenses to launch equity-anchored prepaid cards and connect to DeFi protocols (e.g., Aave lending pools); combining primary metals business to explore tokenized metal equities (e.g., gold mining stock NFTs), capturing the expected doubling of the RWA market to US$500 billion in 2025; partnering with the Korea Exchange (KRX) to develop U.S.-Korea equity cross-border channels, attracting Asian retail and institutional capital. In the long-term vision, Capbridge could transform into the “U.S.-Korea Equity Trading Hub,” enhancing liquidity via a 1exchange-style secondary market (referencing Singapore’s CapBridge 1exchange model), achieving a CAGR of 50%+. By 2030, if the global equity brokerage market reaches US$5 trillion, a mere 0.1% share would generate US$5 billion in revenue, supporting an IPO or strategic acquisition (e.g., by a KRX or NYSE subsidiary).
Risk reminder: No historical performance in the startup phase (awaiting Q4 2025 financials); policy volatility. Yet the combination of low cost + high licensing + nationwide coverage + ample paid-in capital + exclusive U.S.-Korea equity focus provides a rock-solid foundation for long-term value growth, far exceeding industry-average risk-reward ratios.
Capbridge Exchange is not only a practitioner of compliant equity brokerage but a pioneer dedicated to U.S. and Korean stock trading. Investors focused on U.S. and Korean equities should pay close attention to this rising force and position early for the coming trillion-dollar blue ocean over the next decade.
