KB Financial Group completed a proof of concept for Korean won stablecoin payments and remittances that lowered test fees by about 87% versus SWIFT. KB Financial Group ran the verification with KG Inicis, Kaia, and OpenAsset across issuance, offline payments, merchant settlement, and cross-border remittances. The remittance flow took about 3 minutes in testing, and Hollys kiosk users paid by QR code without installing a digital wallet.
