Optimism Re-poster

While the general public in South Korea might not fully recognize their own remarkable standing, the nation actually boasts one of the most highly educated and sophisticated financial populations on the globe. This outstanding level of financial literacy translates into a truly immense opportunity for the region. With such tremendous potential waiting to be tapped, it is the perfect time for Korea to step forward swiftly and collaboratively as a unified team. @jinglejamOP

During the @kbwofficial Keynote, @jinglejamOP shared a fascinating observation regarding four highly distinct financial institutions. Even though these organizations cater to completely separate user demographics and operate in vastly different ways, they share exactly one common thread. The single factor uniting all four is their choice to implement the OP stack as their underlying infrastructure.

Collaborating with the DB Securities team to integrate real-world assets onchain within Korea is a tremendous honor, and we are eagerly anticipating our future milestones together.

We also want to express our sincere appreciation to Bongseok Kwak. Your generous remarks regarding Optimism during your opening keynote at Ethereum Korea One: Genesis were truly wonderful to hear.

Being present at the dawn of a major movement almost never feels historic while it is unfolding.

@jinglejamOP @soneium

Throughout KBW, our COO, @kylejenke, is proudly acting as our representative at @Cointelegraph. To ensure a highly reliable experience for your trading needs, the majority of premier exchanges rely on the OP Stack, a framework that has been rigorously battle-tested.

The Optimism team would love to connect with you during @kbwofficial. Please come and visit us at Stand 6, located on level B2F inside Vista Hall.

There has been a notable increase in $USDT flows across the OP Mainnet. Beginning in July, these figures have grown from $185M to a total of $305M.

Through a new partnership with Optimism and @Securitize, KB Securities is preparing to launch tokenized financial products on the OP Mainnet. As a division of the largest bank in Korea, this exciting move represents the very first time the most prominent institution in Korean finance is transitioning into the onchain space. To kick things off, a tokenized bond is currently being developed. Once that is complete, the focus will shift toward offering equities and several other financial instruments in the future.

Approximately 300 million individuals currently hold cryptocurrency across Asia. In major financial hubs such as Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Singapore, digital assets have moved far beyond the fringes to become a standard element of the everyday financial ecosystem. As this adoption grows, the most prominent organizations in the region are consistently selecting the OP Stack to power their operations.

Crypto builders and financial institutions within the Asian market share a specific set of infrastructure requirements. They need platforms capable of sustaining immense trading volumes while strictly adhering to local regulatory frameworks. Moreover, seamless integration with the extensive user base and deep liquidity of Ethereum is essential. The OP Stack delivers on these demands by allowing enterprises to fully own their blockchain networks without the need to engineer a system entirely from scratch.

A variety of major projects are already utilizing this framework. For example, @Official_Upbit, the largest exchange in South Korea with a community of 13M+ registered users, is presently developing @GIWA_by_Upbit. In another significant move, @mitsuiandco launched @zipangcoin, a token backed by precious metals, directly onto the OP Mainnet. Furthermore, the OP Stack recently facilitated a complete local-currency payment cycle. This milestone was achieved through a collaboration between Korea's largest fintech super app, @toss__official, and @komsco, the Korea Minting, Security Printing, and ID Card Operating Corporation.

Our team is excited to be present on the ground for both @kbwofficial and @token2049. We look forward to connecting with you there.

With an estimated ~300 million cryptocurrency holders currently residing in Asia, digital assets are no longer considered a fringe interest. In prominent hubs such as Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Singapore, cryptocurrency has seamlessly integrated into mainstream finance. Consequently, the most prominent organizations throughout the region are turning to the OP Stack for their development needs.

Financial institutions and digital asset developers across the Asian market share specific infrastructure demands. They require platforms that provide direct access to the expansive user base and liquidity of Ethereum, possess the capacity to process high trading volumes, and ensure strict compliance with local regulatory guidelines. The OP Stack delivers on all these fronts, allowing these enterprises to fully own their blockchain networks without the immense effort of engineering a system from the ground up.

A variety of significant projects are already taking advantage of this technology. For instance, a complete local-currency payment cycle was recently executed on the OP Stack through a collaboration between @komsco, the Korea Minting, Security Printing, and ID Card Operating Corporation, and @toss__official, the largest fintech super app in Korea. Additionally, @mitsuiandco successfully launched @zipangcoin, a token backed by precious metals, directly onto OP Mainnet. We are also seeing major developments from South Korea's largest exchange, @Official_Upbit, which boasts 13M+ registered users and is currently building @GIWA_by_Upbit.

Our team is excited to participate in upcoming industry events, and we look forward to connecting with you in person at @token2049 and @kbwofficial.

Cryptocurrency payments are officially making their way to South Korea, bringing exciting changes to the local financial landscape. In a significant recent development, an entire local-currency payment cycle was successfully executed on the OP Stack.

This achievement was made possible through a joint effort between @komsco, the Korea Minting, Security Printing, and ID Card Operating Corporation, and @toss__official, which is known as the largest fintech super app in Korea. The Toss platform is already utilized by a majority of Korean adults because it conveniently bundles a wide variety of services into a single application, providing users with everything from standard payments to insurance and loans.

During this initiative, the underlying technology facilitated a completely seamless transaction process. The system was able to load funds onto a certificate, process a purchase at a merchant, and finalize the settlement. Impressively, all of these steps were completed in just one single pass.

By uniting the advanced capabilities of the OP Stack with the expertise of KOMSCO, the official government body that prints the country's coins and banknotes, we are actively transforming everyday commerce. At the heart of this project is our ongoing commitment to helping small businesses in South Korea reduce their transaction fees and receive their payments much faster.

We look forward to connecting with you again very shortly. Please keep an eye out for our upcoming updates.

Exploring Onchain Scalability with @IBM and Optimism during @Token2049

We are hosting an exclusive evening of cocktails, relationship building, and engaging dialogue at a private waterfront location in Marina Bay. For this event, we are gathering a group of 70 senior leaders who represent financial institutions, digital asset exchanges, and crypto-native organizations. Together, we will dive into a detailed discussion about the necessary steps for successfully developing and managing onchain products on a massive scale.

Experience a streamlined blockchain infrastructure that easily operates without requiring a dedicated team of 30 engineers for its maintenance.

When it comes to CLARITY, my outlook remains highly positive.
