BREAKING: South Korea Kills CBDC Backs Private Stablecoins Instead
South Korea just did what few saw coming.
The Bank of Korea halted its digital won (CBDC) pilot and instead, the government is fast-tracking won-backed stablecoins by private companies.
New bill allows firms to issue stablecoins with just $360K capital.
Major banks like KB, Shinhan, and Woori are already preparing to launch in 2026.
Why this matters:
CBDCs = slow, centralized, uncertain
Stablecoins = fast, scalable, investor-ready
This isn’t just policy this is the first serious move toward regulated, bank-backed stablecoins by a top global economy.
Could this become the blueprint for the next financial system?
Early movers = early winners. Stay ready.
