MoonPay has launched a dedicated Korea unit to integrate its global payment and stablecoin infrastructure with local financial systems, aiming to expand its Asian operations. It partners with major Korean financial institutions to offer services including cross-border remittances and won stablecoin distribution without issuing its own stablecoin.
