ChainCatcher news, according to Yonhap News Agency, Lee Bok-hyun, Chairman of the Financial Services Commission of South Korea, stated during the National Assembly's state audit that, in principle, payment-type stablecoins are not allowed to generate interest payments from holding or usage.

Lee Bok-hyun mentioned that South Korea will follow the relevant principles of the US "Genius Act" to prohibit such practices. In addition, he said that a consortium model led by banks will be explored, restricting fintech companies to act only as technology partners, and prohibiting virtual asset exchanges from issuing stablecoins on their own. Regarding the second phase of virtual asset legislation, he confirmed that it will be submitted within the year and is currently in the final coordination stage. He also mentioned the overseas demand potential for stablecoins in areas such as virtual asset trading, payment settlement, and cross-border remittances, and plans to expand applications and prepare related work in advance.
