SINGAPORE, 28 November 2025 — Today,leading Korean gaming company WEMADE, parent company of the global blockchain ecosystem WEMIX, announced its partnership with blockchain powerhouses Chainalysis, SentBe, and CertiK to form the Global Alliance for Korean Won (KRW) Stablecoin (GAKS). The strategic partnership is set to strengthen the technical capabilities of StableNet, WEMADE’s dedicated blockchain mainnet and infrastructure for KRW stablecoins, and drive adoption of the KRW stablecoin worldwide.

South Korea is fast becoming a leading advocate in the stablecoin sector, with rapid advancement in the building of stablecoin infrastructure and regulatory frameworks quickly taking shape. To meet the growing demand, WEMADE seeks to accelerate the development of KRW-backed stablecoin infrastructure that prioritises security, regulatory compliance, real-world use, and global scalability, through its newly-formed alliance of global giants.

Key highlights of the partnership include:

  • Security and Compliance

    • Chainalysis: The global leader in blockchain compliance will integrate its Web3 threat detection solution Hexagate, transaction monitoring solution Sentinel, and AI-based scam prevention solution Alterya into StableNet.
    • CertiK: The world’s largest Web3 security services provider will oversee security audits for StableNet and provide a block explorer to enhance the transparency and reliability of the infrastructure. CertiK will continue to offer node validation services to WEMADE, improving on-chain monitoring and mainnet technical support.
  • Real-World Application
    • SentBe: The leading overseas remittance fintech company provides remittance and payment services in 33 different currencies to 174 countries worldwide, recording an accumulated remittance volume of approximately $10 billion USD. Leveraging its Singapore Major Payment Institution (MPI) license and its capability to operate proprietary on/off-ramp infrastructure, SentBe will collaborate on verification processes around WEMADE’s stablecoin-based cross-border remittance infrastructure.

Shane Kim, CEO, WEMIX, and VP, WEMADE, said: “This collaboration with international leaders is an incredibly significant milestone in securing the technical completeness of StableNet, and providing domestic partners with the opportunity to join a world-class technology alliance. With GAKS, we will present a new paradigm for the KRW-backed stablecoin beyond South Korea. We will concentrate our efforts on adhering to global standards, while establishing top-tier infrastructure that is truly indispensable in the wider financial ecosystem.”

The official partnership signing ceremony and the launch of GAKS took place in Singapore. Following the ceremony, participants engaged in a fireside chat to discuss the future of the KRW stablecoin, global market trends, and infrastructure requirements.

CertiK Co-founder and CEO Ronghui Gu said: “CertiK and WEMADE have collaborated multiple times in the past, witnessing WEMIX’s evolution from gaming into on-chain financial infrastructure. This partnership will deepen our collaboration and drive the development of a KRW-based stablecoin ecosystem. We look forward to leveraging CertiK’s expertise in security and compliance to help Korea build a safe, transparent, and globally competitive digital asset infrastructure.”

James Ang, VP, Chainalysis Asia Pacific, added: “The durability of any stablecoin ecosystem depends on uncompromising compliance, robust security, and complete transparency. By joining GAKS, Chainalysis is committed to ensuring that StableNet is built on a globally trusted compliance foundation from day one, capable of detecting threats, mitigating risk, and enabling safe adoption at scale. Together with WEMADE and our fellow alliance partners, we are laying the groundwork for a KRW stablecoin infrastructure that institutions, regulators, and users can rely on as it evolves into real-world financial and cross-border applications.”

The testnet source code for StableNet was released publicly in October this year, with the testnet scheduled to be released in December, followed by its official launch in early 2026 after stability verification.

Chainlink Breaks $14.50 as Impulse Wave Takes Hold

Chainlink (LINK) has officially entered a strong bullish phase, breaking above $14.50 for the first time since early 2025 as a clean Elliott Wave impulse takes shape across multiple timeframes. The move follows a major catalyst: the launch of Grayscale’s Chainlink Trust ETF (GLNK) on NYSE Arca—the world’s first regulated spot LINK investment product. Institutional inflows surged immediately after the listing, fueling a 20% single-day rally and pushing LINK’s trading volume above $1.8 billion.

From a technical perspective, the current rally aligns closely with classic Elliott Wave structure. Analysts note that LINK is now progressing through wave (c) of a broader fifth-wave extension, presenting three key upside targets:
• $14.59 – previous local high
• $15.15 – 1.618 Fibonacci extension
• $15.75 – wave-5 equality target
Any pullback is expected to remain shallow, with the wave-4 micro support zone between $13.22–$13.92 already rejecting sellers twice within 48 hours.

On-chain indicators reinforce the bullish outlook. Exchange reserves have fallen to a multi-year low—just 14.8% of circulating supply—as LINK continues migrating to cold storage and staking. More than 60 million LINK is now staked, and accumulation by large wallets has increased consistently. Chainlink currently secures over $95 billion in value across DeFi, TradFi, and RWA platforms while processing nearly 43% of all oracle traffic in the blockchain industry.

Fundamentally, Chainlink continues to strengthen its position as the leading decentralized data and interoperability layer. Recent improvements to the Chainlink Runtime Environment, expanded CCIP revenue-sharing programs, and deeper integrations with institutions such as Anchorage Digital and Folks Finance provide structural support for long-term growth. Still, risks remain—LINK historically carries a high beta to Ethereum, and profit-taking after the ETF-driven breakout could spark a correction of up to 15–20%.

As long as the key support range at $13.22–$13.92 holds firm, analysts expect LINK to maintain upward momentum. Many now consider the $18–$20 range achievable before the end of 2025 if LINK can break above $15.75 with strong volume. For traders and long-term holders, the current consolidation around $14.50 presents an attractive risk-reward zone ahead of what could be Chainlink’s next major leg up in the 2025 bull cycle.

Binance Faces Renewed Legal Battle Over Alleged $80M BTC Theft

A Florida scam victim will get a second chance to pursue legal action against Binance Holdings Inc. after a state appeals court ruled that a lawsuit over the alleged theft of $80 million worth of Bitcoin can move forward. The Florida Third District Court of Appeals determined on Wednesday that a lower court improperly dismissed the case for lack of personal jurisdiction, stating the plaintiff presented a plausible argument that Binance conducts business activities connected to Florida users.

The lawsuit, originally filed in state court, claims scammers gained access to the victim’s Binance account and transferred roughly $80 million in Bitcoin off the exchange. According to the plaintiff, Binance was notified immediately and provided with transaction details but did not freeze the stolen assets in time, allowing the funds to vanish permanently. The defendant argues it has no direct operational presence in Florida, but the appeals court disagreed, reviving the case and sending it back to the trial court for further proceedings.

The decision does not determine whether Binance is liable, but it opens the door for discovery, hearings, and evidence collection. Legal analysts say the ruling could have wider implications for global crypto exchanges that serve U.S. users while attempting to avoid state-level jurisdiction.

This lawsuit adds to Binance’s broader legal challenges over the past two years, including federal scrutiny regarding compliance and operational practices. As the case progresses, the Florida court will assess whether Binance can be held responsible for failing to safeguard customer assets amid an alleged sophisticated crypto theft.

Ark Invest has made another major move in the digital asset sector, signaling renewed confidence in crypto equities even as market volatility continues. Led by CEO Cathie Wood, the fund recently expanded its exposure to key crypto-linked companies, reaffirming its long-term bullish outlook on blockchain innovation and digital finance.

Ark Invest has purchased approximately $16.5 million worth of Coinbase shares, adding to its already substantial position in the exchange. The firm also increased stakes in Circle and other crypto infrastructure companies, strengthening its presence across the broader ecosystem. These investments come during a period of fluctuating market sentiment, making Ark’s conviction-driven strategy particularly notable.

Cathie Wood and her team are known for their contrarian approach—buying aggressively during downturns and leaning into sectors they believe represent the next wave of global innovation. Their continued investment in Coinbase and Circle aligns with this philosophy, reinforcing their belief that crypto adoption and on-chain financial infrastructure will accelerate further in the coming years.

Ark’s acquisitions also send a clear signal to the market. Institutional players often view Ark’s activity as a predictive indicator of emerging trends. The firm’s investment choices have historically influenced confidence across the industry, especially during times of uncertainty. With Bitcoin stabilizing in the mid-$80,000 range, Ark’s renewed interest suggests expectations of stronger market fundamentals ahead.

Moreover, Ark’s portfolio now includes over $1 billion in equities tied to stablecoins, exchanges, and blockchain infrastructure, highlighting its commitment to digital finance. This expanded position supports ongoing developments in crypto regulation, stablecoin adoption, and institutional frameworks expected to mature in the coming years.

Cathie Wood emphasized the firm’s stance, stating: “Our aggressive buy-the-dip strategy has historically led to strong recoveries and reflects our confidence in long-term growth trajectories within the cryptocurrency sector.”

Ark Invest’s continued accumulation of crypto equities highlights a broader narrative: institutions are still betting on blockchain’s future, even amid short-term turbulence.
