South Korea is kicking off a pilot that will replace government expense credit cards with blockchain‐based deposit tokens.

Blockchain Goes TradFi?
The Ministry of Finance and Economy announced on an official press release that the pilot project for the execution of national treasury funds using blockchain‐based digital currency has been approved.

This new official venture marks the second time in which South Korea’s government uses digital currency and deposit tokens for the execution of national treasury funds, following another pilot project for building electric‐vehicle charging facilities and paying national subsidies together with the Ministry of Environment.

Deposit tokens are digital claims on commercial bank deposits, issued on permissioned blockchain rails, spendable by citizens and companies at participating merchants and service providers.

In simpler words, deposit tokens are digital versions of the money already kept in a normal bank account. The bank “wraps” those deposits into tokens on a private (permissioned) blockchain, and you can then spend those tokens at approved shops or service providers, just like using a card or mobile wallet.

In contrast with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), that are digital versions of a country’s official money, created and managed directly by its central bank, deposit tokens have programmable settlement, transparent tracking of public money, and real‐time reporting for the state.

Pilot Details
The press release states that under the current National Treasury Funds Management Act, business promotion costs and related operating expenses are required to be paid with government purchase cards, effectively blocking the use of deposit tokens. Thanks to the new regulatory sandbox, those same payments can now be made with deposit tokens, creating a real‐world testbed for a new government

📚 Crypto Education: What is Kimchi Premium?

Kimchi Premium refers to the price difference of cryptocurrencies on South Korean exchanges compared to global exchanges like Binance.

Why does it happen?
🇰🇷 Strict capital controls in South Korea
🇰🇷 High retail investor demand
🇰🇷 Limited arbitrage opportunities

Today's Kimchi Premium (April 17, 2026):
• BTC: 0.36% premium
• ETH: 0.34% premium
• XRP: 0.36% premium
• SOL: 0.29% premium

When premium is positive → Korean investors paying more
When negative ("Kimchi Discount") → bearish signal

Drift Protocol has announced a collaboration with Tether (USDT) and other partners totaling nearly $150 million to fund user recovery and a protocol relaunch following its April 1 exploit on Solana (SOL). The package includes a $100 million revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem grant, and loans to designated market makers. USDT will serve as the settlement asset when the protocol relaunches. Recovery Pool and Token for Impacted Users The funds, out of which $127.5 million is reportedly from Tether, will support a dedicated user recovery pool fed by exchange revenue and committed support capital. Drift stated that any assets recovered through ongoing law enforcement and blockchain forensics efforts will also flow into the pool. To distribute recovery assets, Drift will issue a new transferable token to users affected by the April 1 exploit. The team said additional details on token mechanics will follow in the near term. The April 1 attack drained between $270 million and $285 million from Drift’s vaults. Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic attributed the operation to North Korean state-linked actors who spent six months infiltrating the protocol’s inner circle. Attackers posed as a quantitative trading firm, built trust at conferences, and compromised devices through a malicious TestFlight app and a VSCode vulnerability. They then manipulated Drift’s multisig approvals using Solana’s durable nonces feature to drain core vaults holding USDC, SOL, and JLP tokens. The incident slashed Drift’s total value locked from $550 million to roughly $230 million. The Drift (DRIFT) token dropped over 30% in the immediate aftermath. The protocol’s TVL was $243 million as of this writing. Drift Protocol TVL.

Cobo Releases ACL Settlement Layer for Public Chains and Stablecoin Payments

Digital asset custody firm Cobo has been linked to a new payment incentive settlement layer described in circulating reports as “ACL,” said to be open to public chains, stablecoin issuers and payment institutions. English-language primary sources do not confirm a standalone product launch by that name; what is verified is Cobo’s role as an inaugural partner in the Morph Payment Accelerator, a $150 million program built around institutional stablecoin settlement.
