Polaris Office has taken its first step into the digital asset market by filing a trademark application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office for the won-pegged stablecoin under the name 'POLAKRW'.
This trademark application covers a total of 102 items, spanning three major product categories: Class 9 (computer software and cryptocurrency-related programs), Class 36 (electronic financial services, payment processing, and virtual asset brokerage), and Class 42 (blockchain-based technology services and software development). The application is aimed at securing prior rights for the overall won-based stablecoin service in the future.
Polaris Share (POLA) is a knowledge-sharing-based (S2E) token that was listed on the major domestic cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb in 2020, and has already proven its stability in the digital asset sector. It is currently operated and maintained stably through its subsidiary, Polaris Share Tech.
Recently, POLA has officially launched a USD-based swap pool on the global payment platform PayPal, thereby expanding liquidity channels for exchanging between cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies.
The company stated that this trademark application is part of the group’s recently announced Web3-based digital financial service strategy, and that POLAKRW will be developed as a stablecoin pegged to the value of the Korean won on the blockchain.
A Polaris Office representative said, "Stablecoins are the starting point for the transition to Web3 and serve as digital infrastructure that connects data, payments, and contracts into a single ecosystem. The 'POLA' token, which is listed on Bithumb, has established itself as a reliable digital asset by effectively managing market risks even during the crypto winter, a period marked by frequent coin scams and market downturns."
The representative added, "Going forward, we will create a variety of markets centered around POLAKRW, not only in the knowledge-sharing platform but also across other sectors."
Meanwhile, Polaris Office is developing industry-specific services based on document understanding AI technology, and is now actively expanding its business into the digital asset and blockchain sectors, including this trademark application.
The company explained that this application signals the full-scale realization of Polaris Office’s mid- to long-term strategy for the Web3 era, and can be seen as a move to lay the foundation for securing leadership in the digital asset market in the future.
