BDACS, Woori Bank Launch South Korea’s First Won-Backed Stablecoin on Avalanche
The post BDACS, Woori Bank Launch South Korea’s First Won-Backed Stablecoin on Avalanche appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Digital asset custodian BDACS has launched KRW1, South Korea’s first fully regulated won-backed stablecoin, through a partnership with Woori Bank. Each token maintains full collateralization with Korean won held in Woori Bank escrow, according to BDACS. The launch comes amid competing parliamentary bills that debate interest payments and capital requirements for stablecoin issuers. Digital asset custodian BDACS has launched KRW1, South Korea’s first fully regulated won-backed stablecoin, in partnership with Woori Bank. The announcement follows completion of a proof of concept validating technical infrastructure spanning fiat deposits, token issuance, and blockchain verification, as per a Thursday press release. Each KRW1 token maintains full collateralization through South Korean won held in escrow at Woori Bank, with real-time banking API integration providing transparent proof of reserves, according to BDACS’ statement.

Kevin Durant’s Forgotten Bitcoin Purchase Surges Nearly 200x
The post Kevin Durant’s Forgotten Bitcoin Purchase Surges Nearly 200x appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Durant’s 2016 Bitcoin buy grew nearly 200x in value after years of lost account access. A $10K Bitcoin purchase then would be worth about $1.8M at today’s $117K price. Durant’s firm worked with Coinbase to restore access after years of login issues. NBA star Kevin Durant regained access to a Bitcoin account he opened in 2016, where BTC traded around $650. The coins sat untouched for nearly a decade after he lost his login credentials. With Bitcoin now above $117,000, his holdings have surged almost 200x. A $10,000 entry at 2016 prices is now valued near $1.8 million. Durant’s agent, Rich Kleiman, revealed the recovery during CNBC’s Game Plan conference in Los Angeles, calling it one of the athlete’s most lucrative investments Forgotten Account Benefited From Inactivity Durant first bought Bitcoin while playing for the Golden State Warriors, after attending a dinner conversation that centered on crypto.
