The cooperation will center on digital assets and future financial services, with Shinhan planning to use Visa’s stablecoin platform to test core functions tied to issuance, transfers, and redemptions. The group said the work will be carried out with South Korea’s domestic financial rules and market conditions in mind as the two sides shape a business model.

The announcement outlines an operational testing and design effort rather than a public product launch.
