Naver Financial will launch the Busan Local Stablecoin Wallet and is also preparing to merge with Upbit

2025.11.25 18:59:46

On November 25th, as per The Block, South Korean tech behemoth Naver's financial arm, Naver Financial, has accomplished the development of a stablecoin wallet. It is currently in the final verification stage and is scheduled to be launched next month. This wallet project was developed in collaboration with the venture capital firm Hashed and the Busan Digital Asset Exchange (BDAN). It will support the stablecoinization of Busan's local currency "Dongbaek-jeon", enabling residents and visitors to exchange various fiat currencies for the stablecoin form of the local currency. The service will be incorporated into Naver Pay Wallet. However, full functionality will have to await the establishment of a local currency stablecoin regulatory framework in South Korea. Meanwhile, Naver is planning to merge with the parent company of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, Dunamu, through a share swap. Dunamu plans to be listed on Nasdaq as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naver after the merger.

Opinion: Bitcoin Retail Selling Pressure Hits Bottom, Gold and Silver Diverge Market Attention

December 8 — Per a Business Insider report, Joe Ciolli, author of the *First Trade* column, noted that Bitcoin has tracked the U.S. stock market’s performance over the past decade. However, as of 2025, U.S. stocks have posted double-digit gains—while Bitcoin remains in negative territory. Key drivers of the divergence: - Dip-buying retail investors have gone quiet, with sharply cooled sentiment toward Bitcoin directly slowing ETF inflows. - Precious metals gold and silver, which hit new highs this year, have drawn some investor attention away; some argue they’ve temporarily replaced Bitcoin in portfolios. Ciolli added that recent Bitcoin declines may purge weak-handed speculators, leaving mostly staunch long-term holders (many with multi-year positions). If Bitcoin can address unique selling pressure concerns—such as forced selling by large institutional holders like Strategy—it’s likely to re-couple with stocks long-term, especially if interest rate cuts materialize as expec
