According to a report by the Korea Herald, the nominee for the governor of the Bank of Korea, Shin Hyun-sung, stated in a written response during a personnel hearing at the National Assembly that central bank digital currency (CBDC) and commercial bank deposit tokens based on its issuance should become the core of the digital currency ecosystem. Shin Hyun-sung expressed basic support for the introduction of a Korean won stablecoin but emphasized that maintaining trust in the currency is the most important.Regarding the issuing entity of the Korean won stablecoin, he believes that South Korea is not a reserve currency country, and compliance capability is crucial. Therefore, he suggested prioritizing the issuance by a bank-centered alliance, allowing non-bank institutions to participate, and gradually expanding later. Shin Hyun-sung holds a cautious attitude towards the claim that stablecoins can enhance foreign exchange trading efficiency, believing that it is still unclear whether blockchain can comply with capital and foreign exchange regulations. He also stated that crypto assets, including stablecoins, have failed to meet the core functions of currency such as a measure of value, medium of exchange, and store of value, asserting that crypto assets cannot replace fiat currency.

According to a report by Reuters, Kraken has become the first cryptocurrency exchange approved for a master account with the Federal Reserve, but the account is restricted, only allowing its banking operations to access the Fedwire payment system and maintain a limited balance, without the ability to earn interest or obtain emergency loans. This move has raised concerns about risks and transparency in the U.S. financial system, including a call from Maxine Waters, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, for more disclosure on account details.Regulatory experts point out that lightly regulated crypto companies having direct access to the Federal Reserve payment system may pose operational and financial stability risks. The Federal Reserve stated that the related restrictions are intended to mitigate liquidity shocks and credit risks, but the banking industry warns that this could affect liquidity in the banking system and exacerbate money laundering and operational loopholes. Kraken stated that its banking reserves are fully supported and comply with bank-level anti-money laundering and customer identification requirements.
