币界网报道：South Korea's new administration is pushing for the legalization of Korean won-pegged stablecoins as part of its digital finance strategy, with lawmaker Min Byeong-deok proposing legislation to establish a licensing framework for private issuers. The initiative aims to reduce capital outflows, lower trade costs, and expand the won-based digital economy by enabling sectors like gaming and e-commerce to utilize stablecoins. KakaoPay has already filed related patents, while industry experts like Sam Seo highlight potential use cases in cross-border payments. However, critics including SmashFi CEO Brian Hoonjong Paik argue that won stablecoins lack global demand and could accelerate capital flight or become a proxy-CBDC. Min emphasized private-sector issuance with transparency safeguards to meet international AML standards, while acknowledging the need to balance decentralization with consumer protection in upcoming crypto legislation. The proposed Digital Asset Basic Act also includes plans to allow crypto ETFs and create a presidential Digital Asset Committee.
