DL News reported on April 7 that as USDC trading volume continues to surge in South Korea, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire plans to visit the country next week. He will meet with executives from major commercial banks and top cryptocurrency exchanges to discuss three key areas: USDC’s use cases in South Korea, international payment collaborations, and plans for a Korean won-backed stablecoin. On the banking front, Allaire intends to hold consecutive meetings with key leaders at leading institutions including KB Kookmin Bank, Shinhan Bank, and Hana Bank. Notably, KB Kookmin Bank met with Circle last June and has completed a feasibility concept test using the Circle Mint platform. For cryptocurrency exchanges, Allaire will also meet with Upbit operator Dunamu, plus executives from Bithumb, Coinone, and other exchanges. Discussions will cover expanding USDC adoption, South Korea’s payment ecosystem, and measures to support cross-chain technology.

Another U.S. official slammed Trump as "the most bloodthirsty—like a mad dog" and downplayed claims that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or Secretary of State Marco Rubio are goading him, adding: "Compared to the president, those guys all sound like doves." Trump has started floating ideas to advisers and confidants about targeting power plants and bridges, asking: "What do you think of the 'Infrastructure Day' idea?"

South Korean Regulatory New Rule Requires Crypto Exchanges to Verify Asset Holdings Every 5 Minutes

On April 7, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) ordered all cryptocurrency exchanges to reconcile their internal ledgers with actual asset holdings every five minutes—this after uncovering internal control vulnerabilities at several major platforms. The regulatory action stemmed from a February incident at Bithumb: the exchange mistakenly distributed 620,000 bitcoins to 249 users during a promotion. Ninety-nine point seven percent of the funds were recovered the same day, while the remaining 0.3% (1,788 BTC) was covered by Bithumb’s reserves. An FSC inspection further revealed that three of South Korea’s top five exchanges only reconciled ledgers once every 24 hours, limiting their ability to quickly respond to discrepancies. Additionally, these exchanges’ systems for suspending trading during major ledger mismatches were found inadequate.
