According to Kmaeil, South Korea's KB Kookmin Card has announced the signing of a digital finance cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Japan's financial group SBI Holdings, SBI Everspin, and Everspin. The parties will jointly validate AI agent identity and access management technologies (such as the "KYA Trust Gateway" platform developed by SBI Everspin) to ensure compliance and reliability when AI agents retrieve, book, and make payments on behalf of users. They also plan to integrate with payment systems like KB Pay. In the next phase of the collaboration, they will explore the feasibility of enabling Japanese tourists to use stablecoins and other digital assets for payments at offline merchants in South Korea. This will cover practical processes such as settlement, clearing, refunds, and fraud prevention. Officials emphasized that the final implementation and commercialization of stablecoin payment services have not yet been confirmed and will depend on the results of technical validation. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/kb-kookmin-card-sbi-partner-explore-stablecoin-payments-69958
