Abstract generation in progress
According to the Korea Economic Daily, KakaoPay CEO Shin Won-keun stated at the Digital Asset Investment Insight Forum (DAIF 2026) that on-chain finance is a core trend in the global financial market. KakaoPay plans to build a "super wallet" capable of holding stablecoins and tokenized assets, aiming to integrate remittance, payments, and various financial services with stablecoins, enabling 40 million users to use them without perceiving the underlying blockchain technology. He also pointed out that global financial giants such as Visa, Mastercard, Citibank, and Circle are actively investing in on-chain financial infrastructure, and South Korea also needs to accelerate second-stage legislation such as the Digital Asset Basic Act to establish a regulatory framework and enhance global financial competitiveness.

South Korea's legislative progress needs to accelerate. Giants like Visa and Circle are already running ahead. If the regulatory framework can't keep up, it will be all for nothing.

KakaoPay is making a big move with this play, but how will stablecoin compliance be addressed? Wait for the details of the Digital Asset Basic Law.

The statement from DAIF 2026 is very critical. If South Korea can be the first to successfully navigate the regulatory + business closed loop, the East Asian financial landscape will change.

Citigroup and Mastercard have both entered the scene. On-chain finance is no longer a niche experiment; it is a must-have for traditional finance.

The concept of a super wallet is quite interesting. If 40 million users can truly use on-chain finance seamlessly, that would indeed be a milestone.
