South Korea currently features a vibrant and technologically sophisticated digital asset sector valued at $68B. As the second largest digital asset market in Asia, its national currency, the Korean won, routinely secures the number two spot globally in cryptocurrency trading volume, trailing only the U.S. dollar. To further propel this dynamic economy, Chainlink has formed a new strategic partnership with LG CNS, the dedicated technology division of LG Group.
Operating as one of the most prominent business conglomerates in Korea, LG Group manages roughly ₩186 trillion in total assets across 63 different affiliates. Within this massive enterprise, LG CNS holds a pivotal role in national financial technology. The company serves as the primary contractor for Project Hangang, the flagship digital currency initiative led by the Bank of Korea.
Together, these organizations will drive the next wave of technical standards supporting the Korean digital asset economy. Their joint efforts focus on several core objectives. The collaboration will upgrade the existing digital asset platform solution at LG CNS by integrating the orchestration, data, and cross-chain infrastructure provided by Chainlink. Additionally, the two entities will work closely to develop specialized digital asset solutions tailored for Korean institutions by utilizing the comprehensive capabilities of the full Chainlink platform.
Ultimately, this alliance merges the deep institutional knowledge of LG CNS with the robust technology standards of Chainlink. This combination establishes a strong groundwork designed to deliver a fully compliant digital asset infrastructure for the domestic market in Korea, while also paving the way for future global expansion.
