Traders can bet on the KRWQ/USDC exchange rate by going long or short, with all transactions settled in USDC, avoiding the actual delivery of Korean won and circumventing South Korea's capital control restrictions.

Some believe that if the product attracts significant institutional funds, the long-stalled digital asset legislative process in South Korea may face greater pressure.
