Wemade Adds Chainlink to KRW Stablecoin Alliance Infrastructure

3 min read

Blockchain company Wemade added Chainlink Labs to its Global Alliance for KRW Stablecoins (GAKS), expanding the consortium’s data and oracle infrastructure as it builds compliance-focused rails for won-pegged stablecoins. 

On Tuesday, Wemade announced that Chainlink will provide technical support for data integrity, infrastructure standards and tokenized asset use cases. Wemade said Chainlink’s role will also focus on supporting standardization and enabling alliance members to leverage oracle services. 

The addition follows earlier partnerships with blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, security auditor CertiK and remittance provider SentBe, which collectively formed the GAKS initiative. 

The move comes as South Korea’s stablecoin policy debate remains unresolved, with authorities divided over issuer eligibility and oversight. GAKS’ focus on infrastructure rather than issuance highlights how industry players are preparing for regulatory clarity while avoiding direct exposure to unresolved policy risks.

Cointelegraph reached out to Chainlink for comment on its future role in the consortium but had not received a response by publication.

Compliance-first infrastructure, not issuance

GAKS was launched in November 2025 as part of Wemade’s broader push to reset its blockchain strategy after years of operational and regulatory setbacks. 

On Nov. 28, Wemade said the alliance would support StableNet, a dedicated mainnet for KRW-backed stablecoins, acting as a technology and consortium partner while avoiding the role of issuer. 

Within the alliance, Chainalysis would be responsible for monitoring and threat detection, CertiK for node validation and security audits and SentBe for regulated remittance infrastructure across jurisdictions. 

Chainlink’s inclusion adds an oracle layer that can support price data, onchain verification, and other data-driven functions commonly required by institutional digital asset systems. 

“Through close collaboration with Chainlink, we will continue to build a sound KRW stablecoin ecosystem,” said Wemade vice president Kim SukWhan.

Regulatory backdrop shapes industry posture

The infrastructure-first approach also reflects mounting regulatory caution in South Korea. 

At the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong, Bank of Korea Governor Lee Chang-yong warned that won-denominated stablecoins could complicate foreign exchange management and capital flow controls, adding friction to ongoing legislative debates over stablecoin issuance rules. 

Lawmakers remain divided over whether only banks should be allowed to issue won-pegged stablecoins or whether non-bank entities should be allowed under regulatory oversight.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
