🔍 Why KRW Stablecoin Actually Matters
In 2021, Klaytn (now Kaia) partnered with the Bank of Korea’s CBDC pilot program — not just sandbox tests, but real-world simulations.
The new KRW stablecoin project leverages that prior experience to bring regulated, local currency-pegged digital assets to the chain.

It’s a key differentiator in Asia’s emerging stablecoin infrastructure battle.
