Stablecoin remittance expansion needs forex rules and payment networks overhaul
Expanding overseas remittances and international payments using stablecoins will require interoperability between existing bank networks and digital payment rails, as well as reforms to South Korea’s foreign exchange transaction system, participants said. They also called for an institutional basis to reduce prefunding burdens on remittance firms and support real-time settlement. At a National Assembly seminar, speakers discussed changing global payment infrastructure, user protection, anti-money laundering and foreign exchange management frameworks.
