- Chainlink Formalizes Partnership with LG CNS for Korean Stablecoin Development — this brief
Chainlink has announced a formal partnership with LG CNS, the IT services arm of LG Corporation, to collaborate on Korea's central bank digital currency (CBDC) project, known as Project Hangang.
The partnership expands on a previous memorandum of understanding signed on October 6, which focused on LG CNS's blockchain-based Know Your Customer, Identity, and Transaction Linking (KITL) platform.
While Unchained is the only outlet reporting this story, the development suggests a significant integration of Chainlink's decentralized oracle network into LG CNS's infrastructure for the Bank of Korea's CBDC initiative.
Chainlink's technology is expected to play a crucial role in ensuring the security and reliability of the stablecoin infrastructure being developed as part of Project Hangang.
Despite the announcement, Chainlink's native token LINK has shown minimal price movement, currently trading at $12.07, down 0.06% in the last 24 hours and 4.11% over the past week.
Since this brief published about 1 hour ago, Chainlink (LINK) has moved from $12.07 to $12.06 — -0.08%.
