According to PANews, due to an increase in bank complaints and rising discussions on the Korean won stablecoin, the central bank of Korea's CBDC project has been put on hold before the second test. The central bank has decided to delay testing to reduce uncertainty.
It is expected that banks will focus more on the introduction of the Korean won stablecoin. Currently, nine banks, including the Bank of Korea, are participating in open blockchain and DIDIA, and Busan Bank is also considering joining.
