A policy report from Hashed Open Research and the Solana Policy Institute urges South Korea to introduce stablecoin regulations before finalising its comprehensive Digital Asset Basic Act. The report suggests a phased rollout, similar to the EU's MiCA, and highlights ongoing debates about the roles for banks and fintechs in stablecoin issuance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

South Korea's stablecoin rules are being fast-tracked, decoupled from its stalled comprehensive crypto law. The immediate debate is whether banks or fintechs get to issue and operate them—this is your window to shape the market structure.
