XRP Ledger used for tokenised government bond settlement in South Korea
Ripple\'s XRP Ledger (XRPL) has been used in South Korea to settle tokenised government bonds. Ripple worked with Kyobo Life Insurance to apply XRPL across issuance, settlement and custody of the bonds. The case aligns with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse\'s recent push for onchain bond settlement and his criticism of slow, inefficient traditional systems. Market participants say the approach is already being implemented in part, including an April transaction in South Korea.

Bitcoin no longer faces major crashes, \'a completely different institution-led market\'
The cryptocurrency market is undergoing structural change beyond the traditional four-year halving cycle, with global liquidity, institutional money and regulation increasingly driving trends, an analysis said. CoinEx said bitcoin could reach up to $180,000 by the end of 2026 under favorable macro and market conditions, calling it a probabilistic scenario. It cited spot bitcoin ETFs and a more stable derivatives market as buffers that could prevent 80 percent-scale crashes seen in past cycles.

2025 digital assets wrap: Institutionalisation speeds up, stablecoin boom heats up
The digital asset market rose in 2025 as institutionalisation gathered pace, centred on the United States. Stablecoins shook markets at home and abroad as companies moved to use them in real-world finance, while policy moves in the United States underpinned expectations of deregulation. In South Korea, user protection rules took hold and a roadmap for corporate investment was presented, but broader legislation and stablecoin institutionalisation remained stalled. Tokenised treasuries and tokenised deposits gained traction.
