币界网报道：South Korea's KB Kookmin Bank has filed 17 trademark applications for stablecoin-related symbols including KBKRW and KRWKB, signaling its intent to participate in the nation's growing stablecoin ecosystem. The bank confirmed it's forming a consortium with seven other major Korean banks to develop a won-pegged stablecoin, collaborating with blockchain advocacy group OBDIA and financial clearinghouse KFTC. This move follows similar trademark filings by mobile payment giant KakaoPay last week. The banking consortium aims to launch operations by late 2025 or early 2026, aligning with legislative efforts to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Lawmaker Min Byeong-deok recently proposed legislation to accelerate approval of private sector-issued won stablecoins, citing potential economic benefits like reduced trade costs and increased foreign investment. President Lee Jae Myung has pledged government support for stablecoin development through public-private partnerships.
