Shinhan and SBI are exploring yen stablecoins, using tourist spending between Japan and South Korea as a test case, according to Cointelegraph.
The assessment will consider safeguards for travelers using the tokens, putting consumer protections alongside their potential use in cross-border payments.
The companies will also examine whether stablecoins could shorten settlement times for trade between the two countries. The review will assess potential benefits rather than establish that faster settlement is assured.
