Crypto.com has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kyobo Lifeplanet Life Insurance, South Korea’s first fully digital life insurer, to explore new ways of expanding access to digital assets and developing digital-first financial services in the local market.
According to the announcement shared on Wednesday, January 7, the collaboration will focus on potential referral and point-exchange initiatives, subject to local regulatory requirements.
Under the proposed framework, Kyobo Lifeplanet may introduce a referral program allowing eligible customers to access Crypto.com’s platform, with benefits available to users who complete onboarding and meet specific activity thresholds.

The partnership also plans to assess a point-exchange mechanism that would allow Kyobo Lifeplanet customers to convert existing reward points into digital assets or platform points usable across select Crypto.com services.
Beyond referral and rewards programs, the two companies said they will explore broader areas of cooperation, including the development of new digital financial products, potential embedded insurance models, and coordinated marketing initiatives.
