KRWQ Takes Part in Global Stablecoin and Tokenization Conferences
October was an active month for KRWQ's international engagement, with IQ and KRWQ teams participating in industry conferences across Singapore and Las Vegas. The events brought together leaders from traditional finance, blockchain, and fintech to discuss stablecoin adoption, cross-border payments, and the growing market for tokenized financial assets.
Stablecoin Summit Singapore
On October 8, KRWQ participated in Stablecoin Summit Singapore, an event focused on the evolution of stablecoins and their applications in global finance.
The conference brought together representatives from financial institutions, fintech companies, and blockchain projects to explore how stablecoins can support international payments, improve settlement efficiency, and connect traditional financial systems with blockchain infrastructure.
KRWQ's participation was particularly relevant to discussions around non-USD stablecoins and the opportunities for bringing additional national currencies into digital asset markets.
RWA Summit Singapore
On October 9, Navin Vethanayagam joined RWA Summit Singapore for a panel titled "Global Stablecoin Adoption and Growth."
The discussion brought together representatives from Frankencoin, Cactus Custody, and Animoca Brands to examine stablecoin infrastructure development and its role in global financial markets.
Topics included the evolution of decentralized and fiat-backed stablecoins, institutional custody, regulatory compliance, cross-border payment integration, and the use of stablecoin liquidity for real-world asset settlement.
The panel highlighted the broader opportunities for stablecoins beyond traditional cryptocurrency trading, particularly as financial institutions explore tokenized assets and more efficient settlement infrastructure.
Ethereum Stablecoin Summit and Money20/20 Las Vegas
Later in October, KRWQ participated in events surrounding Money20/20 USA in Las Vegas, one of the financial technology industry's major international gatherings.
On October 19, Navin Vethanayagam spoke at the Ethereum Stablecoin Summit, delivering a presentation titled "Why the World Needs a Korean Won Stablecoin."
The presentation focused on the opportunity to bring Korean won liquidity into global blockchain markets and the role KRW-denominated stablecoins could play alongside established USD stablecoins. The summit also featured speakers from Frax, Polygon Foundation, and other organizations working on stablecoin infrastructure, tokenized markets, and institutional blockchain adoption.
Tokenize! Las Vegas
On October 21, Navin also participated in Tokenize! Las Vegas, joining a discussion titled "Are Stablecoins Really Stable?" The event focused on the intersection of blockchain technology, financial infrastructure, and tokenization of real-world assets. The discussion examined considerations around stablecoin design, reliability, and the infrastructure needed to support broader adoption.
Together, these conference appearances expanded KRWQ's presence in international conversations about digital currencies and the development of non-USD stablecoin markets.
IQ Remains Safe, Burning Tokens Stolen by Hacker
In late October, IQ burned all of the IQ tokens stolen by the Binance hacker, removing the compromised tokens from circulation. The team then minted and returned the IQ tokens to Binance once the exchange's recovery process was completed.
The announcement emphasized the team's commitment to protecting the integrity of the IQ token ecosystem.
Partnerships
IQ.wiki Integrations
IQ.wiki continued expanding its network of project integrations throughout October, adding ten projects: Goldhouse, CottoniaAI, Cortis AI, Nikola, GMTL, Ocean6AI, Abey Foundation, Aurion Finance, CEXAID, and OuroLayer.
These integrations connect project communities with structured information available through IQ.wiki, helping users discover project backgrounds, technology, teams, and ecosystem developments. By incorporating links to persistent, searchable project knowledge into their platforms, participating projects can make information more accessible beyond social media announcements and other short-form communications.
The integrations also strengthen IQ.wiki's broader network of blockchain and AI knowledge, supporting discoverability across search engines and AI-powered information systems.
