Injective and BDACS Target Korean Won Stablecoin for Tokenized Assets
Injective teams up with BDACS to launch KRW1, a won-backed stablecoin, as South Korea builds a regulatory framework for local currency digital assets.

Injective and BDACS are betting that KRW1 can become the settlement layer of choice once that framework goes live. First-mover advantage in compliant stablecoin rails is worth chasing hard.
