AS9645 HYUNDAIFUTURES-AS NEXT SECURITIES CORPORATION

AS9645 (HYUNDAIFUTURES-AS-KR) is registered to NEXT SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Seoul-based securities and futures brokerage. The AS handle preserves the firm's original name, Hyundai Futures; the company passed through several rebrands (HI Investment & Futures, VI Financial Investment, SI Securities) before taking the Next Securities name in December 2024.

What it's used for

This is a corporate enterprise AS, not a service-provider network. RIS sees just 3 IPv4 prefixes totalling 768 addresses and no IPv6, announced through only 3 observed neighbours. That shape — three /24s in Korean address space (124.137.14.0/24, 211.47.38.0/24, 203.240.128.0/24) behind a couple of upstreams — is the classic pattern of a financial firm that runs its own ASN purely so it can multihome. A brokerage cares about uninterrupted connectivity to the exchange and to its trading clients, so it buys transit from more than one Korean carrier and carries its own number rather than accepting provider-assigned space that would have to be renumbered on a switch. The address footprint is far too small for anything resembling hosting or an access network; it covers office, trading-desk and public-facing systems.

Notable

• A registry handle is a historical artefact, not a current identity. HYUNDAIFUTURES here does not mean the network belongs to the Hyundai group today.
• Prefixes sit in three unrelated Korean /8s, which is normal for an enterprise that has picked up assignments at different times over a long life.
