Analysts: South Korea’s stablecoin pivot will hurt card companies, boost big tech

South Korea plans to introduce the Digital Asset Innovation Act that regulates stablecoins as ‘value-stable digital assets.’ Issuers must demonstrate equity of at least 1 billion won (approximately 720,258 USD), which experts say could challenge the profitability of credit card companies.

While banks express concerns over competition, tech giants like Naver and Kakao view stablecoin regulations as an opportunity to expand in the blockchain space, reflecting their readiness to adapt to the evolving market dynamics.
