Hana Bank plans to research certificates of deposit tokens, while Woori Bank’s research department has recently released a report on the tokens. Several private banks in South Korea are studying the potential of tokenized deposit technology, an alternative to both private stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
