Coocon Launches Dedicated Ai-Ready Data Zone and Introduces Mcp Products COOCON announced on June 29 that it is accelerating its push into the Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based data business for the AI agent era. Under the plan, COOCON aims to grow into a “dedicated data hub for AI agents” by delivering its existing data in MCP format so AI agents can utilize it directly. MCP, introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, is a standard communication specification that unifies connection methods, enabling AI agents to directly query and utilize external data and systems. Amid these trends, COOCON plans to launch a “Dedicated AI-Ready Data Zone” on its business data platform COOCON.NET in July and introduce MCP products. It will initially list around 30 products, expand the lineup to over 100 products by year-end, and roll out the entire product portfolio by 2027. This enables companies to seamlessly utilize required external data for AI agents through COOCON in a standardized manner, eliminating manual integrations. COOCON will prioritize converting highly utilized, frequently accessed data into MCPs, targeting both companies newly adopting AI technologies and existing customers pursuing AI transformation.

The service enables foreign visitors and tourists to Korea to make payments and withdraw cash seamlessly, eliminating the need for a complicated currency exchange process or a local bank account and greatly enhancing convenience. COOCON has established a highly accessible payment environment supported by Korea's largest payment infrastructure, comprising more than two million mobile QR merchants, over 100,000 major franchise locations, and more than 40,000 AT machines spread across Korea. Leveraging this extensive foundation, the company is advancing a strategy to build a next-generation global payment distribution network that incorporates global pay, local pay, and a stablecoin platform. Through this integrated payment ecosystem, COOCON enables overseas payment service providers to enter the Korean market seamlessly. By participating in SFF 2025, COOCON expanded its relationships with global payment and stablecoin service providers at Asia's largest fintech event and fully promoted its technological capabilities and long-term vision on the international stage.

Leveraging a robust domestic payment infrastructure, the company aims to play a pivotal role in helping multinational payment providers to enter Korea.

Thanks to its strong domestic payment infrastructure including 2 million mobile QR merchants, 100,000 large franchise merchants, and a nationwide network of 40,000 ATMs, the company enables users in Korea to send and receive cross-border payments in real-time without the need for currency exchange or card issuance. Starting with the launch of UnionPay services in late September and WeChat Pay services in October, COOCON will expand money transfer and payment support in Korea for global payment service providers in the second half of the year through a partnership with the Bank Indonesia. This is expected to enhance convenience for foreign travelers and residents in Korea while creating new business opportunities for Korean merchants. In line with these efforts, COOCON is proactively reacting to the stablecoin market, where a growing number of global financial institutions are setting foot.

This is expected to strengthen its presence in the Asian fintech market and reinforce its role as a leading player in global payment and stablecoin infrastructure. In addition to its payment business, COOCON operates Korea's largest business data platform 'COOCON.net', collecting and connecting data from about 500 domestic institutions in the financial, public, and retail sectors, as well as 2,000 financial institutions across more than 40 countries and providing over 300 APIs. Through this platform, COOCON supplies essential data and payment APIs to a broad range of industries, including financial institutions, big tech, and fintech companies, thereby solidifying its position as a critical infrastructure provider.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 25% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
