KOSDAQ 150’s New Fast Entry Rule: Top 30 by Market Cap in 15 Trading Days Post-Listing

By Sanghyun Park

  • Fast entry is now permissible for KOSDAQ 150. Within 15 trading days post-listing, the average daily total market cap must rank among the top 30 ordinary stocks on KOSDAQ.
  • KOSDAQ 150 will also allow newly established entities in corporate spin-offs, following KOSPI 200’s model. Inclusion is granted if the subsidiary ranks within KOSDAQ 150’s top 160 (80%).
  • The ₩1.5T cutoff for KOSDAQ 150 fast entry suggests potential candidates nearing this threshold, like Oasis, Kurly (and maybe Kakao Entertainment).
