The Bank of Korea put the CBDC project on hold for now as complaints from banks participating in the pilot project increased and discussions on the introduction of won-based stablecoins in the National Assembly and the private sector ignited. According to the financial industry on the 29th, the Bank of Korea recently notified banks that it will temporarily hold discussions on the second test to use real-life payment methods through CBDC (Project Han River). The central bank originally planned to start the second test in the fourth quarter of this year. The Bank of Korea decided to hold off further tests to minimize uncertainty as private discussions on the legislation of won stablecoins have recently been activated at a time when it is unclear whether the central bank-led digital currency and private stablecoins coexist. As a result, banks are expected to focus more on introducing won stablecoins. Nine banks, including KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana, Woori, NH Nonghyup, IBK Company, iM Bank, Suhyup, and K-Bank, are currently participating in the open blockchain and DIDIA (OBDIA), which is leading discussions on the issuance of stablecoins in the banking sector, and Busan Bank, Gyeongnam Bank, and Toss Bank are also considering joining. Joint venture with non-banking companies is also active as the Basic Act on Virtual Assets contains content that greatly lowered private entry barriers. Hashed, the largest blockchain investment company in Korea, where Yongbum Kim’s presidential office policy chief was involved, is also said to have recently discussed the stablecoin business with major banks.
