IQ and Frax have launched KRWQ, the first stablecoin pegged to the South Korean won on the Base network. KRWQ is designed to provide a stable digital asset that mirrors the value of the Korean won, making transactions smoother within the crypto space. It supports multi-blockchain transfers using LayerZero technology and is built with regulatory compliance in mind. Currently, minting and redemption are restricted to select partners, marking a significant step for Korea’s digital finance ecosystem.
