A leading public chain partners with a Korean payment provider to test USDC payments, bringing stablecoin adoption one step closer

[BitPush] Korea’s largest payment processor BC Card announces a partnership with a leading public blockchain. The two parties will jointly promote a pilot project for domestic payments based on the USD stablecoin USDC. What is the core highlight of this collaboration? It involves integrating the wallet functions of a leading public blockchain ecosystem with BC Card’s QR code payment system, allowing users to directly spend USDC at Korean merchants, with automatic settlement in Korean Won. It sounds simple, but there are many issues to solve behind the scenes—compliance review, interoperability between different chains, and whether it can truly be implemented in everyday payment scenarios. This round of testing aims to verify how complex these issues really are. From the perspective of stablecoin payments, this is a key signal: major payment institutions are beginning to recognize the potential of Web3 wallets in retail payments, rather than merely viewing them as investment tools.

Here we go again, Korea is also going to adopt stablecoin payments. Overcoming the hurdles of compliance and interoperability is the real deal.

Wow, this is truly breaking out of the circle. Payment institutions are no longer hiding or being evasive.

Wow, is it really happening? Koreans are already using USDC to scan and buy groceries, while we're still arguing about whether stablecoins are a scam...

Korea's payment scene is finally taking off, and now stablecoins are starting to have some use. I’ve been wondering when they would be used for everyday scanning. Will they pass the compliance check?

Well, finally there's something realistic, not just talk without action.

Will this really work this time? It feels like just talk on paper again. --- South Korea's actions are so quick. When can we use it? --- Can we really pass the compliance review? It always feels uncertain. --- The landing of stablecoin payments is the trend, but whether this wave can truly advance is still a question. --- Led by BC Card feels much more reliable, not a small project just messing around. --- Another test. We've been testing for so many years and we're still testing. --- I just want to know if the cost of final settlement in Korean Won will be eaten up. --- Does retail payment really need to be so complicated? It's a bit over-engineered. --- The key still depends on whether we can survive; otherwise, all efforts are in vain.

theoretically speaking, if we map out the cross-chain settlement layer here... the interoperability vector between USDC bridge and fiat rails is *chef's kiss*. but real talk, the actual bottleneck isn't the tech—it's regulatory state verification. which honestly reminds me of Vitalik's recursive SNARK framework... imagine if every payment just... recursively verified itself. beautiful chaos.
