Korea's regulators are racing to license digital assets before the rules are even finalized.
The government is building a testbed for won-denominated stablecoins and security token offerings, targeting an October 10 build-out deadline. In parallel, KB Kookmin Bank tripled its project-financing credit support to 3.4 trillion won this year to keep housing redevelopment liquidity flowing, while bank unions objected to a separate 3 trillion won plan to relocate government bond holdings. For compliance teams, October 10 is now the working deadline that matters.
