IQ’s KRWQ Acquires Korean Government Bonds With Shinhan Securities together with EtherFuse
In February, KRWQ began acquiring Korean government bonds held at Shinhan Securities. These assets are tokenized through EtherFuse’s Stablebond framework and maintained by Shinhan Securities, one of South Korea’s most prominent financial institutions. The update represents a first time for the market when tokenized Korean sovereign debt is being integrated into the reserve collateral of a KRW-denominated stablecoin, strengthening the KRWQ profile as it scales.KRWQ’s fees and cash flows are directed to the IQ token, providing holders with an early position in the world’s first Korean won stablecoin ecosystem. Since its 2018 launch in Seoul, IQ has built a significant presence in the Korean market with listings on major exchanges like Upbit and Bithumb. KRWQ builds upon this foundation by offering a KRW-denominated asset engineered for transparency, composability, and global liquidity.
The move links on-chain KRW liquidity to Korea’s sovereign debt market through a major local financial institution and is a big step toward higher-quality, transparent reserves for stablecoin settlement at institutional scale. KRWQ was developed by IQ using Frax as its core stablecoin infrastructure partner. Binance shared the news about the KRWQ’s government bonds acquisitions to its 2.2 million followers on Binance Square. The announcement was also covered by CoinNess, Hankyung, and Bloomingbit.
KRWQ and First Digital Strategic Cooperation
KRWQ and First Digital entered a strategic cooperation to expand institutional access to KRWQ’s fully backed Korean-won stablecoin infrastructure and strengthen multi-currency settlement options across global markets.
Under the cooperation, First Digital will provide operational support and integration, including coordinating partner onboarding, aligning settlement processes, and enabling multi-currency routing, so eligible institutional counterparties can use transparent on-chain rails for treasury operations, cross-border settlement, and programmable payment flows.
IQ AI Open-Sources MCP Servers for Polymarket, Kalshi, and Opinion.trade
IQ AI released three open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which let AI agents connect directly to major prediction market platforms: Opinion.trade, Polymarket, and Kalshi. Built with IQ AI’s TypeScript-native ADK-TS framework, the servers give agents standardized tooling to discover markets, pull odds/prices and historical data, monitor portfolios, and execute trades (including full order management where credentials are provided) across both crypto-native and regulated venues.
These three MCP servers join a growing ecosystem of over 17 MCP servers in ADK-TS, covering DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, messaging platforms, and now the full spectrum of prediction markets, from crypto-native venues like Opinion.trade and Polymarket to regulated exchanges like Kalshi.
Combined with PredIQt and the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP), IQ AI is building a complete stack for autonomous agents that can reason about uncertainty, act on conviction, and compete in real markets. The MCP servers are the connective tissue, a standardized, open-source tooling that lets any developer wire their agent into this infrastructure.
