Kakao Pay Securities, the investment arm of South Korean fintech giant Kakao Pay, has integrated TradingView into its mobile trading platform, enhancing charting and analysis tools for its more than 7 million users.
The integration allows users to access advanced technical indicators, customizable chart types, and a smoother trading interface — all directly within the Kakao Pay mobile app. Traders can now use tools such as Simple, Exponential, and Weighted Moving Averages without needing to switch platforms.
The move comes as part of Kakao Pay Securities’ broader mission to simplify investing and empower users with professional-grade features. The firm reported a 51% revenue increase year over year in 2024, underlining its rapid growth in Asia’s digital finance space.
According to the company, the upgrade supports both casual investors and active traders, reflecting growing demand across Asia for smart, mobile-first trading solutions.
This trend mirrors broader movements in the prop and brokerage space. Leverate recently integrated TradingView into its platform, allowing its broker and prop firm clients to offer advanced visual tools without extra costs.
“Our collaboration with TradingView underscores our commitment to equipping brokerages and prop firms with the best possible trading solutions,” said Shmulik Kordova, CCO at Leverate.
TradingView also recently launched a mini app inside Telegram, enabling users to track markets and share charts within social media environments — further signaling the platform’s expansion beyond traditional terminals.
Why it matters for prop trading:
As TradingView becomes a standard across mobile platforms, firms that support or build prop environments will face growing pressure to offer flexible, modern charting interfaces. With mobile usage continuing to rise among younger traders, especially in Asia, this shift highlights the need for prop firms to keep pace with both technology and user expectations.
