KEB Hana Bank has signed a strategic business agreement with BitGo to jointly establish digital asset custody in South Korea, the local news agency Yonhap reported. The commercial bank has a network of 111 branches with local banking assets of nearly $10 billion and equity of $490 million.


Hana Bank representatives reportedly announced the news on Sept. 5 at the cryptocurrency industry conference “Korea Blockchain Week.”


As part of the collaboration, the parties will establish a joint venture featuring BitGo’s custody solutions and Hana Bank’s financial service and compliance expertise.


“By promoting digital asset custody business together with global partners, we expect to contribute to strengthening trust in the domestic digital asset market and consumer protection,” a Hana Bank executive reportedly said.


BitGo CEO Mike Belshe noted that the firm will focus on its capabilities of enhancing transparency and security of the South Korean digital asset industry.


Hana Bank and BitGo plan to launch their joint cryptocurrency custody venture in the second half of 2024, according to online reports.

Hana Bank has recently expressed interest in tokenized deposit technology as an alternative to private stablecoins and central bank digital currencies.


In July 2023, the bank issued a report alongside local private banks like Woori Bank and Maeli Business News Korea, describing the so-called “certificate of deposit” tokens that could potentially replace customary notes and deposits without disrupting the traditional banking system.# Bitcoin# Cryptocurrencies# Business# Banks# BitGo# South KoreaAdd reactionAdd reactionRead moreWhat is profit and loss (PnL) and how to calculate itThe story of a crypto influencer’s attempt to bend realityBitcoin ETF applications: Who is filing and when the SEC may decide
