★Bank of Korea adds two banks to digital won trials as real-world testing begins
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"The Bank of Korea's expanded digital won trials, integrating commercial banks and deposit tokens, signals a significant step toward a hybrid CBDC architecture. This model could redefine interbank settlements and retail payment rails, potentially impacting capital efficiency and market structure for financial institutions operating in the region. Its success or failure will inform global CBDC strategies and future digital asset integration."
