In addition, Toss Securities reported a net profit of $25.1 million (KRW 34.3 billion) during the same period, marking a significant improvement from the previous year.

"For the second half, we anticipate an operating profit exceeding $43.9 million (KRW 60 billion) through product diversification such as our recently launched U.S. bonds and other additional streams of revenue."
