ONE BIG THING: Proven Infrastructure Meets Regulatory Momentum

As practical discussions surrounding corporate digital asset investments surface from political advisory circles, BDACS reaffirmed the strength of its comprehensive infrastructure, fully integrating asset custody (storing value) with the KRW1 stablecoin network (moving value) to capture the incoming wave of institutional capital.

KRW1 & Custody: Expanding Global Liquidity Networks

At the ‘2026 Digital Asset Forum,’ BDACS CEO Harry Ryoo emphasized the strategic expansion from institutional custody to global liquidity networks during his session presentation.

• Proven KRW1 Capabilities & Vision for Value Transfer: CEO Ryoo highlighted the established technological competitiveness of the multi-chain ‘KRW1’ stablecoin infrastructure. Building on this robust foundation, he presented BDACS’s vision as a comprehensive financial infrastructure provider—leveraging its scalable on/off-ramp model to drive unparalleled efficiency in cross-border settlements and FX markets.

• Institutional Shift in Custody: Backing this expansion is BDACS’s core custody capability. As the Korean corporate market prepares to open, Ryoo noted a strategic industry shift from pure cold wallet storage to dynamic hot wallet utilization, ensuring the operational efficiency demanded by large-scale corporate capital.
