Wemade Adds Chainlink to KRW Stablecoin Alliance Infrastructure

3 min read

Blockchain company Wemade added Chainlink Labs to its Global Alliance for KRW Stablecoins (GAKS), expanding the consortium’s data and oracle infrastructure as it builds compliance-focused rails for won-pegged stablecoins. 

On Tuesday, Wemade announced that Chainlink will provide technical support for data integrity, infrastructure standards and tokenized asset use cases. Wemade said Chainlink’s role will also focus on supporting standardization and enabling alliance members to leverage oracle services. 

The addition follows earlier partnerships with blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, security auditor CertiK and remittance provider SentBe, which collectively formed the GAKS initiative. 

The move comes as South Korea’s stablecoin policy debate remains unresolved, with authorities divided over issuer eligibility and oversight. GAKS’ focus on infrastructure rather than issuance highlights how industry players are preparing for regulatory clarity while avoiding direct exposure to unresolved policy risks.

Cointelegraph reached out to Chainlink for comment on its future role in the consortium but had not received a response by publication.

Compliance-first infrastructure, not issuance

GAKS was launched in November 2025 as part of Wemade’s broader push to reset its blockchain strategy after years of operational and regulatory setbacks. 

On Nov. 28, Wemade said the alliance would support StableNet, a dedicated mainnet for KRW-backed stablecoins, acting as a technology and consortium partner while avoiding the role of issuer. 

Within the alliance, Chainalysis would be responsible for monitoring and threat detection, CertiK for node validation and security audits and SentBe for regulated remittance infrastructure across jurisdictions. 

Chainlink’s inclusion adds an oracle layer that can support price data, onchain verification, and other data-driven functions commonly required by institutional digital asset systems. 

“Through close collaboration with Chainlink, we will continue to build a sound KRW stablecoin ecosystem,” said Wemade vice president Kim SukWhan.

Regulatory backdrop shapes industry posture

The infrastructure-first approach also reflects mounting regulatory caution in South Korea. 

At the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong, Bank of Korea Governor Lee Chang-yong warned that won-denominated stablecoins could complicate foreign exchange management and capital flow controls, adding friction to ongoing legislative debates over stablecoin issuance rules. 

Lawmakers remain divided over whether only banks should be allowed to issue won-pegged stablecoins or whether non-bank entities should be allowed under regulatory oversight.

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
