PANews reported on December 21 that, according to Decenter, the Bank of Korea recently sent a formal document to major banks regarding the second round of CBDC testing. A Bank of Korea official stated that details, including specific methods and timelines, are currently under discussion.

The second round of testing is considering distributing some government subsidies in the form of digital currency. The aim is to use a CBDC to limit the use of subsidies and reduce the administrative and management costs associated with subsidy distribution. The Bank of Korea previously launched a three-month CBDC pilot program in April with seven participating banks, but subsequently suspended the project. At the time, the pilot program was criticized for its limited practical value and the billions of won in costs it imposed on participating banks.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate.

Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story.
