South Korean Jeonbuk Bank has become the first bank in the country to offer businesses loans in won secured by the leading cryptocurrency. The coins are held by a third-party custodian, and if a borrower defaults, the bank can recover its funds by selling the collateral through legal proceedings. The financial institution has already issued its first loan, but has not disclosed the amount, interest rate or loan-to-value ratio.
