According to South Korea's *Electronic News*, Korean internet giant Kakao is pushing to integrate Korean won stablecoin payments into its core businesses. The Kakao group has formed a stablecoin task force in collaboration with KakaoBank and KakaoPay, aiming to build a financial ecosystem through a consortium that includes stablecoin issuance, custody, and payments. They plan to first enable Korean won stablecoin payments in Kakao's gifting and shopping services, and later expand real-time virtual asset payments to webtoons, music, performances, and the Kakao T transportation platform. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/kakao-stablecoin-payments-shopping-transport-digital-content-70047
