Korea Exchange Affiliate KOSCOM Applies for Stablecoin Trademarks
KOSCOM, the IT infrastructure affiliate of Korea Exchange, has filed for five stablecoin-related trademarks, signaling a strategic push into the digital assets sector. The trademarks—KSDC, KRW24, KRW365, KOSWON, and KORWON—underscore the firm's preparation for South Korea's anticipated KRW stablecoin market.
The move aligns with broader regulatory expectations, as experts predict new crypto rules will soon accompany frameworks for won-pegged stablecoins. KOSCOM's initiative reflects institutional confidence in the mid- to long-term viability of stablecoin commercialization.
As a key provider of trading platforms for Asian securities markets, KOSCOM's pivot into digital assets could catalyze further institutional adoption across the region.
