Kyobo Life Sets Up Digital Asset Unit as STO and RWA Plans Advance

Kyobo Life Insurance created a dedicated digital asset department in April 2026 and began detailing related business plans. According to hankyung.com on May 12, the company has been hiring planning and development specialists since the second half of last year as it prepares for digital asset legislation. Areas under review include security token offerings, real-world assets, stablecoins and Web3. The new unit is expected to oversee a groupwide mid- to long-term roadmap. Kyobo is also reviewing an overseas digital asset entity, cross-border payments, its own wallet, remittance and custody services, and an RWA platform. It has checked a Ripple government-bond trading proof project and joined Circle’s Arc public testnet and the KDX consortium. Source: hankyung.com
