No specific launch has been announced yet. Investment or implementation timetable
Cooperation between Kakao Pay and KakaoBank
Kakao Pay and KakaoBank have signed a memorandum of understanding with cryptographic infrastructure provider Fireblocks. The agreement was officially announced on Monday.
According to the agreement, the three parties will jointly explore opportunities in the field of digital assets, of which stablecoins are one of the core parts of this exploration.
Under the framework of the memorandum, the three companies plan to conduct proof-of-concept tests, focusing on the construction of digital asset infrastructure. The infrastructure is designed to meet South Korea's regulatory compliance, security and service standards requirements, with the goal of building a secure on-chain system for the country's growing digital asset market.
This announcement did not include a specific timetable. As of now, no launch date, investment amount or promotion plan have been confirmed.
Business background of Kakao Pay and KakaoBank
Kakao Pay operates mobile payment and financial services in South Korea and is a well-known brand in the country's financial technology field.
KakaoBank is one of the largest pure Internet banks in South Korea. Both companies are part of the broader Kakao ecosystem.
Fireblocks 为全球机构提供数字资产基础设施服务。该公司表示，其合作伙伴包括超过 2,500 家机构，其中包括逾 100 家银行。
更广泛稳定币战略的一部分
此次协议建立在 Kakao Group 此前的举措基础之上。今年七月，Kakao Group 与稳定币发行商 Circle 签署了另一份独立的谅解备忘录。
该合作侧重于基于区块链的支付基础设施，同时也涵盖了更广泛的数字资产技术探讨。Circle 合作项目中还包括了以韩元计价的稳定币相关讨论，以及相关的配套服务。
Kakao Pay 和 KakaoBank 的加入，使得韩国企业探索稳定币的行列不断壮大。随着该国持续完善数字资产的监管框架，这一趋势愈发明显。
其他金融机构已在此领域采取行动。五月，KB 金融集团完成了以韩元计价稳定币的试点项目。该试点涵盖了发行、线下商户支付及跨境汇款等功能，标志着韩国主要银行中较为全面的一次测试。
金融科技平台 Toss 也涉足此领域。七月，Toss 与 Optimism 及 Sunnyside Labs 达成合作。该合作专注于基于韩元的稳定币支付基础设施的概念验证，反映了韩国金融科技公司在规则进一步明确之前，先行测试稳定币系统的行业趋势。
