According to ChainCatcher and Digital Asset, Woori Card applied for multiple stablecoin-related trademarks to the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 10, 2025, including "WCKRW", "WCWON", and "WONWC". This makes it the third credit card company to enter the stablecoin field, following Shinhan Card and Kookmin Card.
In this application, Woori Card specified downloadable software for stablecoins. The potential applications of stablecoins as a payment method are being widely discussed, with the credit card industry showing strong interest.
It is worth noting that Woori Bank, under the Woori Financial Group, had already applied for multiple stablecoin trademarks on July 7, demonstrating the active layout of the top five financial holding companies in the stablecoin market.
