FRANKFURT, Germany/ SEOUL, South Korea – December 19, 2025: 21X – Europe’s first fully licensed DLT trading and settlement system under the EU DLT Regime – and SOOHO.IO – the leading Korean blockchain fintech powering Project Namsan, an institutional consortium building a stablecoin ecosystem for secure FX and programmable payments – today announced they are exploring a strategic collaboration.

This will demonstrate the future of digital finance to accelerate institutional adoption between Asia and Europe.
