South Korea tests blockchain stablecoin in first government pilot

South Korea starts its first government blockchain stablecoin pilot as Gyeonggi Province, Toss, and KT expand won-based digital payment projects.

  • South Korea, specifically Gyeonggi Province, is launching its first government-backed blockchain stablecoin pilot in August, focusing on issuance, settlement, privacy, and fraud prevention.
  • The pilot, led by ZKrypto, will utilize zero-knowledge proof and proof-of-reserves technology, aiming to strengthen domestic stablecoin infrastructure.
  • Simultaneously, private companies like Toss and KT are independently developing infrastructure for won-based stablecoins, indicating a broader push towards tokenized digital payments in South Korea.
