MoonPay, KOSDAQ-listed Sungho Electronics, and its controlling shareholder Seoryong Electronics have signed an agreement to jointly acquire a stake in Finger, one of Korea’s original fintech companies, in a deal structured to build a Korean won stablecoin ecosystem from the issuance layer down to point-of-payment usage. Pantos Holdings, a vehicle wholly owned by Koo Bon-ho — a member of the LG founding family and former major shareholder of LX Pantos — joins as a strategic investor. The total transaction is valued at approximately KRW 110 billion, or around $76 million.

Canada’s digital asset market took a notable step forward with the launch of QCAD trading on Kraken, giving wider access to one of the country’s most prominent regulated Canadian dollar stablecoins. The listing places QCAD on a major global exchange and strengthens the case that locally denominated stablecoins may become an important bridge between traditional banking systems and blockchain-based markets.

QCAD, developed by Stablecorp, has positioned itself as Canada’s first compliant CAD stablecoin. That status matters because stablecoins tied to national currencies can reduce friction for traders, institutions, and businesses seeking blockchain settlement without repeated foreign exchange conversion into U.S. dollars. Easier access to a CAD stablecoin can support trading pairs, treasury management, payments flows, and faster movement of capital between fiat and digital ecosystems.

OpenAssets, a full-stack digital asset infrastructure provider, has selected Chainlink as its oracle platform of record to support the issuance and distribution of institutional tokenized assets across onchain finance. The partnership joins two operators with established institutional footprints: OpenAssets counts ICE, Tether, Fanatics, Mysten Labs, and KraneShares among its network participants, while Chainlink has been integrated by Swift, Euroclear, and Mastercard.

The arrangement gives financial institutions access to OpenAssets’ modular, protocol-agnostic and asset-agnostic white-label tokenization platform alongside Chainlink’s data and interoperability stack. On the Chainlink side, the integration spans the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) for orchestration and legacy system connectivity, the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) for multi-chain settlement, the Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard, NAVLink for net asset value data feeds, and Price Feeds for market data. The combined offering is positioned as a turnkey infrastructure layer for institutions seeking to launch proprietary tokenization platforms and stablecoin engines without building foundational components from scratch.
