Stablecoin ATMs supporting USDT cash exchanges have opened at select tourist and retail locations in South Korea. These machines are only accessible to tourists holding foreign passports. These ATMs, jointly operated by South Korean blockchain company DaWinKS and the Kaia DLT Foundation, support Kaia-issued USDT. Users can withdraw funds into 85 fiat currencies or load them onto local transportation cards. While unavailable to local residents, this move reflects South Korea's growing acceptance of digital asset payments. Currently, South Korea's regulatory framework for stablecoins has yet to be unified, with the ruling and opposition parties debating legislation. The proposed Digital Asset Infrastructure Act, promoted by President Lee Jae-myung, would allow qualified companies to issue won-pegged stablecoins to control capital outflows.
