South Korea's central bank governor expresses caution about won stablecoins

June 18th, according to the report of the Korean Economic Daily, Lee Chang-yeong, the governor of the Bank of Korea, expressed a cautious attitude towards the introduction of a stablecoin linked to the Korean won. Lee Chang-yeong pointed out that although he does not oppose a Korean won stablecoin, factors such as the stability of the foreign exchange market and changes in the banking industry structure need to be considered.

Wang Xin, Director of the Research Department of the Central Bank: The future status of the US dollar depends on two aspects. Market confidence in the US dollar has declined.

2025 Lujiazui Forum today, Wang Xin, Director (Director) of the Research Bureau of the People's Bank of China (Office of Counselors), said that the future status of the US dollar depends on the US economy and US policies on the one hand.

On the other hand, it also depends on the development of other major currencies and other major currency issuing countries, which is a comprehensive result. Generally speaking, if we move from a system that relies too much on the US dollar to several major currencies competing with each other, providing some constraints and incentives for the policies of major currency issuing countries, it should be a better improvement.
