3 hours ago

On November 25th, as per The Block, South Korean tech behemoth Naver's financial arm, Naver Financial, has accomplished the development of a stablecoin wallet. It is currently in the final verification stage and is scheduled to be launched next month. This wallet project was developed in collaboration with the venture capital firm Hashed and the Busan Digital Asset Exchange (BDAN). It will support the stablecoinization of Busan's local currency "Dongbaek-jeon", enabling residents and visitors to exchange various fiat currencies for the stablecoin form of the local currency. The service will be incorporated into Naver Pay Wallet. However, full functionality will have to await the establishment of a local currency stablecoin regulatory framework in South Korea. Meanwhile, Naver is planning to merge with the parent company of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, Dunamu, through a share swap. Dunamu plans to be listed on Nasdaq as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naver after the merger.

Federal Reserve Governor Milan: Current Economic Situation Requires Significant Rate Cut

On November 25th: Federal Reserve Governor Milan expressed that he anticipates that the employment data will be able to persuade others at the Fed to back rate cuts. This indicates that the increase in the unemployment rate is attributed to monetary policy being overly tight. He does not think there is a problem with inflation; although he is concerned about the rising cost of living. He emphasized that the Fed's policy needs to focus on the future. He also holds the view that the Fed should soon reach the neutral interest rate. However, some analysts pointed out that since Milan was appointed with Trump's (rate-cutting) intentions in mind, his continuous calls for significant rate cuts are not unexpected. The market naturally disregarded his comments, so his remarks have had little practical impact. (FXStreet)
