Why Korea’s next big export might be…stablecoins In Korea, digital payments are everywhere - KakaoPay, Naver Pay, Toss. And most of them run on prepaid funds. You top up → get points → spend them in a closed loop. Sounds efficient, right? It is. Until you realise... • Points can expire • Can’t be transferred • Are legally capped per user • Can’t plug into global rails Now imagine that same flow - but onchain with KRW stablecoins ⪼ Real-time settlement ⪼ Auditable & transparent ⪼ Transferable across wallets, apps, even borders ⪼ No expiry, no artificial limits Here’s where it gets interesting: @KaiaChain is laying the groundwork to make this a reality. $Kaia is building a modular L1 optimised for compliant Web3 infra in Korea. That means: ➪ Hooks for local fintechs to integrate KRW stablecoins ➪ Rails for dApps, wallets, payment processors ➪ Infra that aligns with Korea’s evolving stablecoin framework Just these should get you excited at the potential a KRW stablecoin will bring about! It’s a shot at replacing closed-loop points w programmable digital won - globally usable, locally compliant. And Kaia wants to be the chain that powers it all.

Universal Accounts by @ParticleNtwrk are like Apple ID for Web3. You don’t set up a new wallet for every dApp. You don’t bridge funds just to try something new. You don’t even think about chains. UAs makes crypto feel like logging into iCloud: → one account, one balance, and works everywhere You open an app, and your tokens are just... there. Or...buy a real-world asset in 2-clicks? Macro's showing that huge partnerships like this @ParticleNtwrk x Circle is just the beginning of many more opportunities! We're talking TRILLIONS potentially flowing through Universal Account as tradfi moves onchain. Particle is the only project positioned to help retail access all of these regardless of what chains the assets are deployed on, also giving dApps a massive advantage. Let's not forget - $PARTI is designed to accrue value as their UA scales and holders are positioned to reap the fruits.

With game-changing moves like the GENIUS Act and insights from the USA's Project Crypto, now's the time to let your stablecoins do the heavy lifting as this sector takes off. I've dropped 3 threads on yield-bearing stablecoins, with juicy yields as usual. Missed them? Here's a quick summary of all the stables I covered.

Last week marked one of Pendle’s largest maturity events to date, with over $1.5B in TVL reaching maturity. Yet despite that, @pendle_fi TVL climbed to a new all time high. 🫡

ICYMI @aegis_im's sYUSD has quietly been outperforming w/ underlying yields consistently >15% over the past 2 weeks. This is a clear strength of DN strategies where they thrive in volatile markets. And with volatility picking up lately, sYUSD is doing exactly what it’s designed for. Crucially, all of this is underpinned by institutional-grade custody + real-time reserve verifiability (powered by @AccountableData) offering high levels of transparency. Capturing yield is one thing. But locking it in structurally is where the real edge lies. That’s where @pendle_fi comes in: sYUSD’s PTs on Pendle offer scalable fixed yields with $7M+ in liquidity at 16.47% implied APY (realistic sizing w/ minimal implied yield slippage) Chads have been striking while the iron’s hot by locking in dem juicyy yields.
