Samsung Executive Says Won Stablecoin Could Enter Wallet If Issued

A Samsung Global Research executive said a Korean won stablecoin could eventually be supported in Samsung Wallet if issued, tying a possible consumer use to South Korea’s digital-asset rules. At a policy seminar in Seoul on Nov. 5, Park Hyun-soo described a possible domestic use for the wallet. He named no issuer and gave no date for a Korean feature, so his remarks did not announce a service or launch plan. Samsung Electronics America’s Oct. 7, 2026, announcement introduced USDC support for its U.S. wallet service. The U.S. service gives eligible Galaxy users access to a stablecoin through Samsung Wallet and lets them transfer funds to qualifying bank accounts in more than 60 countries.
