Chainlink joins GAKS to help build regulated, KRW-backed stablecoins with global standards.

Chainlink Labs has joined the Global Alliance for Korean Won Stablecoin (GAKS), led by Korean gaming firm WEMADE, to help establish global standards for KRW-backed stablecoins. The alliance, launched in November 2025, aims to expand real-world use while complying with Korean and international financial regulations. Chainlink will provide technical infrastructure and expertise, leveraging its oracle platform used by major institutions like Swift and UBS, to enhance data integrity, security, and reliability. The move strengthens GAKS’s ecosystem, which includes partners like Chainalysis and CertiK, and supports the development of institutional-grade digital assets in South Korea and the Asia-Pacific region.
