the South Korean government will promote a plan to disburse various treasury funds, including treasury subsidies, using digital currency. In the "2026 Economic Growth Strategy" jointly released by relevant departments on the 9th, the government clarified the core content of this "digital currency institutionalization and application plan," with the policy direction aimed at achieving a modernized upgrade of treasury fund management through digital currency.

The government lists this as a medium- to long-term goal, planning to establish a comprehensive support system by 2030 to achieve one-quarter of treasury funds disbursed in the form of digital currency.

Treasury funds refer to all funds under the national treasury, and related pilots will first start with the disbursement of treasury subsidies using digital currency.
