PANews reported on June 30 that according to Maeil Business Newpaper, the central bank-led digital currency (CBDC) project being promoted by the Bank of Korea (central bank) was temporarily shelved before the second test due to an increase in complaints from banks participating in the pilot project and heated discussions in Congress and the private sector on the introduction of the Korean won stablecoin. Recently, in the context of the uncertainty of whether the central bank-led digital currency and the private stablecoin can coexist, private discussions on the legislation of the Korean won stablecoin have been initiated, and the Bank of Korea has decided to postpone further testing to minimize uncertainty.

Therefore, it is expected that banks will focus more on introducing stablecoins in the Korean won. Currently, nine banks including Kookmin Bank, Shinhan Bank, Hana Bank, Woori Bank, NH Nonghyup, IBK Bank, iM Bank, Suhyup Bank, and K-Bank are participating in the Open Blockchain and DIDIA (OBDIA), which is leading the discussion on the issuance of stablecoins in the banking industry. Busan Bank, Gyeongnam Bank, and Toss Bank are also considering joining.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government.

He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects.
