South Korea's central bank has endorsed the development of won-pegged stablecoins under stringent regulatory frameworks. Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong emphasized bank-led issuance to mitigate risks, warning that non-bank entities could facilitate money laundering or evade capital controls. The ruling Democratic Party is concurrently drafting legislation to oversee stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs.
