South Korea's onshore won stablecoin KRW1 connects to LayerZero for cross-chain implementation

LayerZero announced that the South Korean digital asset custody institution BDACS has adopted LayerZero Labs' OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) standard for the Korean won-backed stablecoin KRW1, achieving native cross-chain interoperability.

LayerZero stated that KRW1 thus becomes the first Korean won stablecoin that can be natively transferred across major DeFi ecosystems, with its supply able to flow seamlessly across networks without the need for wrapped tokens, avoiding liquidity fragmentation.
