A Korean Won Peg refers to a digital asset, typically a stablecoin, designed to maintain a stable value relative to the South Korean Won. This asset aims to mirror the Won’s price, providing a stable medium of exchange or store of value within cryptocurrency markets. The peg is maintained through various mechanisms, such as collateralization with fiat currency reserves or algorithmic stability protocols. Such stablecoins facilitate trading and liquidity for users within the Korean digital asset ecosystem.
