Shinhan Bank completes pilot of stablecoin medical bill payment and settlement for foreign patients

Shinhan Bank completed a pilot of a payment and settlement structure in which foreign patients pay medical bills in stablecoins and South Korean medical institutions receive funds in won. The pilot, conducted with payment service provider KSNET, used limited trial transactions at a Seoul medical institution through an overseas stablecoin simple payment service. Shinhan checked whether it could link financial infrastructure for receiving incoming funds and settling in won, while keeping domestic participants from holding or trading digital assets.
