據韓媒 News1 報導，由於韓國在製訂韓元穩定幣發行主體相關法規方面進展緩慢，全球前兩大穩定幣發行商 Tether 與 Circle 正加速搶佔韓國市場。目前，Tether 正在韓國招募公關經理、區塊鏈調查員與政府關係代表等多個職位，以因應即將出爐的數位資產基本法（第二階段法案，預計將要求海外穩定幣發行商在韓設立分支機構始得流通）。同時，Circle 的 USDC 近期在韓國加密貨幣交易所的交易活動中，市占率已達約 10%。

According to South Korean media News1, as South Korea’s progress in formulating regulations on issuers of KRW‑denominated stablecoins remains slow, the world’s top two stablecoin issuers, Tether and Circle, are accelerating their push into the South Korean market.

Tether is currently hiring multiple roles in South Korea, including Public Relations Manager, Blockchain Investigator, and Government Relations Representative, to prepare for the upcoming Digital Assets Basic Act (Phase 2 bill), which is expected to require overseas stablecoin issuers to establish local branches to operate in the country.

Meanwhile, Circle’s USDC has recently reached a market share of approximately 10% in trading volume on South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges.
