Hashed to Seek Stablecoin Linkages Connecting Korea, Japan and the UAE at MoneyX 2026

Hashed, a global Web3 venture capital firm, is moving to build a stablecoin-based financial network connecting the United Arab Emirates (UAE), South Korea and Japan.

Hashed said on the 2nd that it will participate as a gold sponsor in “MoneyX 2026,” to be held on the 27th in Tokyo, Japan. The event is co-hosted by SBI Holdings, CoinPost, JPYC and Progmat, which lead Japan’s stablecoin ecosystem.

During the event, Hashed plans to discuss with major Japanese finance and blockchain stakeholders the potential for cooperation on stablecoin-based cross-border digital asset payment and settlement infrastructure. In particular, building a global stablecoin network linking Japan, South Korea and the UAE will be a key agenda item.

Hashed plans to leverage its experience expanding stablecoin infrastructure accumulated across global hubs including the UAE and South Korea, and connect it with Japan’s ecosystem to accelerate the buildout of a next-generation digital finance network linking Asia and the Middle East.

Previously, Hashed established a corporation in Abu Dhabi Global Market, an international financial free zone in Abu Dhabi, in 2024, stepping up cooperation with the UAE’s Web3 ecosystem. In September last year, CEO Kim Seo-jun met with Hamad Sayah Al Mrouei, undersecretary at Abu Dhabi’s Department of Economic Development, to discuss cooperation measures for building a dirham-based stablecoin ecosystem.

More recently, Hashed released a lightpaper for “Maru,” a won-based stablecoin infrastructure, through its fintech subsidiary Hashed Open Finance. Maru is an infrastructure designed to expand South Korea’s digital asset ecosystem while aiming for interoperability with global fiat-backed stablecoins.

Kim Seo-jun, CEO of Hashed, said, “Stablecoins are public infrastructure that connects the global digital economy beyond being a simple payment method,” adding, “With MoneyX 2026 as a catalyst, we will strengthen cooperation linking Abu Dhabi, South Korea and Japan, and jointly shape the direction of a responsible digital asset ecosystem.”
