The agreement aims to conduct preliminary tests by integrating blockchain technology into existing systems before the legislation of stablecoins, and to prepare for the launch of related services in the future.

The two companies plan to gradually introduce digital asset services based on stablecoin technology to Hana Card, making them usable in everyday life.

They will also seek opportunities to collaborate across a wide range of new blockchain-based financial businesses.

Leveraging its experience in foreign currency exchange and global payments accumulated through its Travelog service, Hana Card plans to enable conversions and payments between stablecoins and Hana Money, while also developing new business models that connect traditional financial services with blockchain-based ecosystems.

EQBR will use its blockchain infrastructure to ensure seamless integration between stablecoin wallets and Hana Card services.

The goal is for the two companies to jointly validate solutions and develop business models that make the convergence of finance and blockchain a reality.

Both companies will gradually expand the scope of their applications, prioritizing service stability and customer protection systems, and will actively consider entering domestic and international markets.

Sung Youngsoo, CEO of Hana Card, stated, "This agreement will open up new possibilities for expanding financial lifestyles by incorporating stablecoin payments into traditional financial services. By connecting to global networks, we will lead the way in enabling both domestic and international customers to use digital assets in everyday payments and will actively pursue new joint business opportunities."
