So one company owns the majority of the crypto, anyone buying now is just going to enrich this company...or am I missing something?

the company doesn't own the crypto, the customers do

the company makes the trading commission and sells other financial products

for the customer it's actually not bad to have it backed by a big bank rather than a newly setup crypto company, as that's already ended in tears many times with people losing all their investment. From bad management and bankruptcy, to a CEO dying without leaving passwords behind so crypto couldn't be accessed anymore etc.

You should check out the big shareholder of SCB, that may well answer your question.

That already happened in Thailand a couple of years back

I must admit I still don't understand crypto. 

Any company can just launch their own crypto and promote it. Sounds like you can print your own money.

[Lowseasonlover]

Could this be good news for XRP? as SCB is a Ripple customer

Lots of video's on YT

SCB will be the major owner of the TRADING platform (including the farming platform: see tuktuk.finance )

So they will in theory receive 52% of the profit, yes

They do not own the 'kub' crypto, but they will control the rules of emission/creation

It may be actually be a good news that a major bank be involved, as Asia is late in term of associated services, such as credit cards. Also, new 'neo banks' in Europe offer a crypto account beside their cash account.

And as mentioned by others, it is an assurance the platform will be financially robust and not disappear tomorrow ...

good explanation! Want to add that while bitkub (and others) are the way to get your crypto, because it is an echange-trading site, If you want to invest for longer term in crypto, you move your crypto from the exchange site (bitkub in this case) to a non-custodial wallet: if the exchange site goes away, got hacked, ceo runs away etc, your crypto sits in YOUR wallet, which YOU hold, and nobody has access to. This is the safe way to go.
