South Korea to test blockchain deposit tokens for government spending in Q
South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance will begin testing blockchain-based deposit tokens for government spending in the fourth quarter as part of a broader push to modernize how public funds are managed.

The ministry said the pilot to spend Treasury funds as digital currency was approved under a 2026 regulatory sandbox program, local media reported.

The approval allows business promotion expenses, currently processed with government purchasing cards, to be paid using tokenized deposits.

The change alters a long-standing system governed by the Treasury Funds Management Act, which required card-based payments. In the sandbox environment, agencies will be able to operate outside those rules on a limited basis to test new methods.

Officials expect the change to improve oversight. Token-based payments can be programmed with predefined conditions, including limits on when funds can be used and which industries can accept them. This could reduce the need for manual audits, especially when spending occurs outside standard hours.

The system also removes intermediaries such as card networks, which the ministry says could lower transaction fees for small businesses that receive government payments.

This marks the second use of deposit tokens in Treasury operations, following an earlier pilot tied to electric vehicle-charging infrastructure subsidies.

The trial will take place in Sejong City after a selection process for participating firms, the report states. The ministry plans to expand the program if it shows stronger control over spending and measurable cost savings.

Bitcoin Cash Price Eyes $485 One Month Before Layla Upgrade


Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has emerged as a primary focus for long-term utility seekers, driven by the approaching “Layla” network upgrade scheduled for May 15. While the broader market navigates a cautious post-halving environment, the protocol is leveraging its upcoming transition into an advanced smart-contract layer to provide a fundamental floor for its valuation. Currently trading near $435.9, the asset is attempting to stabilize after a localized period of selling pressure that tested the resolve of the recent whale accumulation.

The May 15, 2026, Layla upgrade is set to activate four key Cash Improvement Proposals (CHIPs) that will fundamentally expand the capabilities of the CashVM. By introducing bounded loops, Pay-to-Script, and reusable function definitions, the network is aiming to restore historical script functionalities that were disabled in the early days of Bitcoin.

For developers, the upgrade means the ability to write complex DeFi logic and stablecoin contracts directly on the layer-one chain without the high transaction overhead seen on Ethereum. This pivot toward “programmable cash” is being supported by the recent release of Bitcoin Cash Explorer v3.7, which has modernized the network’s public interface with Bootstrap 5 and improved readability. The focus on “developer-native” tools is a clear signal that the project is preparing for an influx of on-chain applications following the May hard fork.

Ripple has partnered with Kyobo Life Insurance to pilot tokenized settlement of Korean government bonds using the Ripple Custody platform, aiming to shorten the standard T+2 cycle to near real-time.

The agreement, framed as a strategic pilot rather than full production, will also assess the technical and regulatory feasibility of broader tokenized treasury settlement and explore stablecoin-based payment rails.

The Kyobo deal deepens Ripple's post-SEC-pivot push into Asian institutional infrastructure, adding to recent custody and payment partnerships in Japan, Singapore and the UAE amid rapid regional progress on digital asset regulation.

Bitcoin miner HIVE lines up $75 million note offering to fund AI infrastructure expansion

HIVE Digital Technologies announced a private offering of $75 million in 0% exchangeable senior notes due 2031 to fund GPU procurement, data center expansion, and general corporate purposes.

The company also received conditional approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange, with shares expected to transition from the TSX Venture Exchange to the TSX around April 30.

HIVE Digital Technologies (HIVE) plans to offer $75 million of 0% exchangeable senior notes due 2031, as the publicly traded bitcoin miner moves to expand its artificial intelligence infrastructure and data center footprint.

The notes will be issued to qualified investors by HIVE Bermuda 2026 Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary. Net proceeds are expected to support general corporate purposes and capital investment, including the purchase of graphics processing units and data center expansion, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

Per the statement, the issuer also expects to grant initial purchasers a 13-day option to acquire up to an additional $15 million of the notes. The securities will not bear regular interest and will mature in 2031. Under certain conditions, the notes can be exchanged into cash, HIVE common shares, or a combination of both at the issuer’s election once final pricing terms and the initial exchange rate are determined. 

In connection with the transaction, HIVE intends to fund capped call transactions using cash on hand. The issuer may use a portion of the net proceeds to reimburse HIVE for the cost of those transactions, the company said, noting that the capped call transactions are designed to reduce potential economic dilution of common shares upon exchange of any notes or offset cash payments the company could be required to make in excess of principal, ....

The Fed proposal would be important on its own. It becomes more significant when it sits next to what is already happening in global payment plumbing.

On March 5, Swift said more than 25 banks had committed to processing payments under its new framework by June, spanning corridors across Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, Germany, India, Pakistan, Spain, Thailand, the UK, and the US. Swift said recipients in five of the world’s ten largest remittance markets would be among the first to benefit.
