BlockBeats news, on November 20, according to DL News, South Korean regulators are considering allowing tech giants to issue their own stablecoins. Unnamed industry insiders stated that the Financial Service Commission (FSC) of South Korea is seriously considering a proposal that would allow companies outside the financial industry to issue stablecoins. Some industry insiders are concerned about this. They believe that allowing technologically advanced large fintech companies to enter the stablecoin market may weaken the competitiveness of banks, leading to an “information technology-driven competition” between banks and tech giants. President Lee Jae-myung had promised to “open” the South Korean stablecoin market to domestic participants before his election in June, but his efforts to fulfill this promise have so far been blocked by the Bank of Korea, which opposes non-financial companies having issuance rights.
