Ripple-backed cross-border payments expand in Korea

The Jeonbuk Bank deal is positioned to support faster cross-border transfers as Pakistan moves ahead with a crypto licensing framework.

Cointelegraph reports that Korea’s Jeonbuk Bank is partnering with Ripple to support cross-border payments using Ripple-linked technology.

Separately, the outlet says Pakistan has opened a pathway for crypto licensing, adding another step to the regulatory rollouts taking shape across Asia.

Cointelegraph frames the developments as part of a broader competition among major Asian crypto hubs, with policy and tax moves aimed at attracting activity.
