Successful Stablecoin Pilot: KaiaChain has officially completed a stablecoin issuance and settlement pilot with iM Bank, a commercial lender under DGB Financial Group, marking a significant step towards becoming the primary settlement layer for regulated Korean won digital currency.
Compliance Architecture Established: This pilot follows a proof-of-concept with KB Kookmin Bank, which completed a pilot for offline retail payments and international money transfers on May 17, 2026, achieving cross-border transfers in under three minutes with fees approximately 87% lower than SWIFT.
Regional Expansion Plans: KaiaChain is extending its settlement framework across Asia by integrating regional stablecoin assets such as JPYC, IDRX, and IDRP to address fragmented cross-border payment systems, thereby enhancing regional financial infrastructure.
Legislative Progress: The South Korean Digital Asset Basic Act, anticipated to move through the legislative process in 2026, will authorize the domestic issuance of KRW-backed stablecoins for the first time, with KB Financial preparing its operational infrastructure for commercial stablecoin services.
