A digital asset finance infrastructure for companies that handles cryptocurrency trading, asset management and overseas transfers in one place has launched. With demand rising for cross-border payments using stablecoins, companies are expected to be able to use digital assets without building separate blockchain infrastructure of their own.
Park Ji-soo, chief executive of Suho Ai O, said on the 30th at the Seoul Digital Money Summit (SDMS) 2026 Q4: Wiring Korea to the World, held at the Hashed Lounge in Seoul's Gangnam District, that "what companies want is not new finance but to receive payment for a transaction and use it in the next one." The CEO added, "We will connect the financial services needed so that digital assets can be handled the way a company handles its everyday funds."
The CEO unveiled Suho Partner Hub, a digital asset finance infrastructure for companies, at the event. Suho Partner Hub is a subscription service that bundles these scattered digital asset finance functions into one. Suho Ai O connects the necessary financial infrastructure in advance, and companies select and use the services they need. For now it offers digital asset trading and management functions. The company plans to add payments and transfers, supporting the full range of corporate treasury work from receiving assets through trading, management and payment.
Travel agencies and heavy equipment traders that Suho Ai O has met are being asked by overseas counterparties to transact using Tether (USDT) or USD Coin (USDC). But for a company to put received stablecoins to actual treasury use, it must set up wallets and accounts and separately find custody, trading, currency exchange and remittance providers to link the services together.
The digital asset finance network will later expand to domestic financial institutions such as banks and securities firms, as well as to global payment and settlement networks. Suho Ai O plans to link Partner Hub with Partior, a global settlement network, so that domestic financial institutions can connect to global payment and settlement networks based on deposit tokens. "Over the long term, it will be possible to tokenize deposits at domestic financial institutions, connect them to global financial networks and use deposit tokens as reserve assets for a won-denominated stablecoin," the CEO said. ▷Related article on Page 11 of the Aug. 20 edition of the Maeil Business Newspaper
