Etherfuse is a blockchain infrastructure platform that launched Stablebond, a tokenized bond issuance product based on Solana. By marrying the traditional world of bonds with the innovation of blockchain technology, we are creating a secure and transparent tool for investors and are adding further stability to DeFi and blockchain products.
According to reports from Seoul Economic Daily, the overseas KRW-denominated stablecoin KRWQ has removed tokenized Korean Treasury Bonds (KTB) from its reserve assets, approximately six months after their inclusion. KRWQ's reserves currently consist only of two USD stablecoins: USDC and frxUSD. KTB was co-issued by Shinhan Securities and the RWA tokenization platform Etherfuse, with underlying assets comprising Korean government bonds with maturities of one year or less. Shinhan Securities stated that upon learning KTB was used as a reserve asset, it considered the move a compliance risk and directed Etherfuse to remove it, while emphasizing that there is no cooperative relationship between Shinhan Securities and KRWQ. Previously, KRWQ had promoted itself as "the first KRW stablecoin to adopt tokenized Korean government bonds as reserve assets," and the project continues to face scrutiny over money laundering allegations.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Shinhan Asset Management announced on August 21, 2026, that it has signed a four-party memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Solana Foundation, a global blockchain network, the compliant tokenization issuance platform Etherfuse, and on-chain liquidity infrastructure provider Orca to jointly advance a full-process proof of concept (PoC) for the issuance and circulation of KRW-denominated tokenized funds. Referencing the model utilized by BlackRock's tokenized fund "BUIDL", the global asset management giant, the partnership aims to adapt this framework for KRW assets. The four parties will collaboratively verify KYC/AML compliance frameworks, blockchain operational models, security audit protocols, on-chain liquidity designs, and compliance with domestic and international regulatory requirements, including the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act.
