BTCCSquare news:
South Korea's e-commerce leader Coupang has partnered with Tempo blockchain, signaling potential stablecoin integration for payments. The move follows similar experiments by global retailers like Amazon and Shopify. Stablecoin adoption could save Coupang hundreds of billions in annual payment processing fees while enabling 24/7 settlements and FX risk reduction.
Japan's JPYC Corporation has introduced the country's first stablecoin-linked credit card repayment system. These developments highlight accelerating crypto adoption across Asia's two largest economies, though regulatory hurdles remain—particularly in South Korea where stablecoin legislation isn't expected until 2026.
