NHN says it is focusing group capabilities on digital asset, stablecoin payments

NHN said it is concentrating group-wide business capabilities to prepare for a future payments environment centered on digital assets and stablecoins. During its third-quarter 2026 earnings conference call on Nov. 10, NHN said it is preparing a stablecoin business to respond proactively to a future payments environment centered on AI and digital assets. The company added that payments subsidiary NHN KCP is strengthening cooperation with the global technology ecosystem by joining Google’s standard agent payment protocol, "AP2," and the Agentic AI Foundation, or AAIF, under the Linux Foundation. In that context, NHN CEO Chung Woo-jin said the company aims to firmly establish itself as a market-leading player in businesses that could become future growth drivers, including stablecoins and AI agent payments.
