On December 3, Park Ki Hwal—senior Korean cultural industry figure and president of the K-POP World Alliance—announced he will drive over 20,000 core members of his affiliated top hip-hop community to fully integrate into the MOVA Chain ecosystem. This move is viewed as a key step in the K-POP industry’s shift from “content globalization” to “value globalization.” Going forward, on-chain applications including ticket payments, fan membership systems, and Real World Assets (RWA) will be directly explored via the MOVA Chain ecosystem. MOVA Chain, a financial-grade modular blockchain, boasts three core technical advantages: - A high-performance execution core to meet high-concurrency demands of large-scale commercial applications; - A native compliance architecture supporting pre-transaction compliance verification, addressing traditional public blockchains’ pain point of failing to meet institutional regulatory requirements; - Modular asset management via a unified asset kernel.
