A seminar in Seoul discussed strategies to integrate digital capital markets with green digital finance as the spread of digital assets accelerates changes across capital-market issuance, distribution, payments and custody. The event, co-hosted by the Korea Fintech Industry Association and Yonsei University’s Graduate School of Environmental Finance, examined domestic policy tasks and directions for Asian cooperation. Speakers addressed token securities, stablecoins, carbon-credit digitisation and blockchain-based infrastructure.

Shinhan Bank said on Tuesday it signed a business agreement with OCI Holdings at OCI Building in central Seoul to expand support for productive finance and joint cooperation for future growth. The agreement aims to widen financial backing for sectors such as semiconductors, advanced materials and solar power. The two sides plan to pursue financing and arranging support for facility investment and working capital, and cooperate on building a global solar value chain. It also includes green finance to support ESG management and carbon neutrality.
