Upbit and Naver Pay team up to launch Korean won stablecoin

Korean companies are joining the stablecoin race, with Upbit and Naver Pay becoming the latest entrants in the market. South Korean firms are increasingly taking advantage of the new regulatory clarity around stablecoins. On Tuesday, June 1, Upbit, the nation’s largest crypto exchange, and Naver Pay, a fintech payment platform, joined forces to develop a Korean won stablecoin. “It seems that Naver Pay will take the lead and Dunamu will cooperate,” stated an official from Dunamu, the operator of Upbit. “We will specify the scope and methods of cooperation as soon as the relevant system is established.” Earlier, on June 26, Naver Pay announced that it would be leading a consortium of companies for the introduction of stablecoins backed by the won. A part of the reason for this move is the regulatory change in South Korea, which will soon likely favor stablecoins.
