Woori Bank Highlights Token Securities as New Growth Area Amid Digital Asset Framework Improvements

Woori Bank has positioned token securities and platform finance as a new growth area within the domestic banking sector. As the institutional framework for virtual assets (digital assets) continues to be refined, banks are expected to focus on securing new non-interest revenue streams centered around innovation.

According to Woori Bank’s investment prospectus submitted on June 16, the bank stated that new growth potential is forming in innovative areas such as token securities and platform finance. The bank also noted that with the gradual improvement of institutional foundations in digital finance and digital asset sectors, banking business opportunities are expanding, leading to a focus on discovering innovative business models and diversifying non-interest revenue sources.

However, the investment prospectus did not mention any specific plans for Woori Bank to launch or develop token securities-related services. The bank has been reviewing digital asset sector opportunities, including a June 26, 2025 board meeting where external directors were briefed on the progress of digital asset business initiatives. Additionally, in September 2025, the Woori Financial Management Research Institute conducted an educational session on stablecoin trends and implications.
