Greetings from South Korea,

The KRWb team is pleased to announce QCP Capital as our first KRWb Issuance Partner. The two teams have been collaborating over the past few months and have come together to support global market liquidity for KRWb. QCP Capital will support direct inquiries for KRWb OTC trades, as well as offer on-exchange liquidity as KRWb continues with its exchange listings. They will be able to support retail users and corporate clients both inside of Korea and throughout the broader global market.

“Korea has always been a strategic but challenging market for us. KRWb is a great solution to many of the problems faced by market participants both onshore and offshore. Beyond crypto liquidity, we are excited to be part of a project that is pioneering new ‘fiat-to-crypto’ solutions in Asia.” says Darius Sit, Managing Partner of QCP Capital

Where to Acquire KRWb

For parties interested in using or acquiring KRWb, at the current time during our beta availability period you can:

  1. Purchase via the KRWb AirSwap Space: https://www.airswap.io/KRWB (metamask wallet required)
  2. Inquire directly to QCP Capital’s OTC trade desk: trading@qcp.capital (preferred minimum: equivalent of USD 5K)
  3. Inquire with the KRWb team for guidance: hello@krwb.io

In the upcoming weeks, the team will release more information regarding the exchanges KRWb will be listed on.

The Role of KRWb Issuance Partners

Given that the number of Issuance Partners will be limited, the KRWb team has set the bar extremely high for those wishing to become an Issuance Partner. While the KRWb team is solely responsible for maintaining and managing the fiat treasury of KRW on-shore in Korea, Issuance Partners play a critical role to supporting market liquidity within the KRWb ecosystem.

KRWb Issuance Partners will have the ability to mint and redeem KRWb based on a 1:1 ratio with any fiat deposits or withdrawals they make. In addition, Issuance Partners are the go-to parties for KRWb availability, market liquidity via on-exchange trading, OTC direct trades and more.

Those interested in learning more about the Issuance Partner process and dynamics, the team has included more information in the KRWb white paper, available in both English and Korean, on the KRWb.io website.
