Korea's NHN KCP runs a 2-second stablecoin payment pilot on Avalanche
NHN KCP confirmed today that it is running a commercial-feasibility pilot for stablecoin-based payments linked to its Payco easy-payment service. The test covers online gift certificate purchases inside the Payco app and offline payments at the cafe and cafeteria in the company's Seoul headquarters, with about 700 employees participating.
The system runs on a payments-focused mainnet built in cooperation with Avalanche (@avax). NHN KCP says it logged a 2-second processing time from QR scan to approval, and built what it calls the industry's first stablecoin payment admin page so merchants can track blockchain settlement data in real time without crypto expertise.
NHN KCP plans to share the pilot data with financial-sector partners and large merchants to push toward commercialization. Another Korean payment major is moving stablecoins from product to infrastructure.
SpaceX is reportedly on track to become the first U.S. company ever to go public with a valuation north of $1 trillion.

But there’s a catch: despite the massive growth, SpaceX lost nearly $5 billion in 2025 as spending on AI and infrastructure surged.
The company is still privately owned, but new financial disclosures are giving the clearest look yet at the economics behind Musk’s space empire.

By now it should be clear: America’s president is not eager to resume his hot war with Iran. For six weeks he has seized on any excuse to delay military strikes. Reluctance is not refusal, however https://t.co/DLakcCILsA
