Chainlink has announced a partnership with LG CNS, the technology contractor for the Bank of Korea's Project Hangang, to expand blockchain infrastructure in South Korea's regulated digital asset space.
The collaboration targets South Korea's $68 billion cryptocurrency market, which has over 11 million eligible users. It will focus on integrating Chainlink's oracle technology and institutional blockchain solutions.
This partnership comes as South Korea continues to develop its central bank digital currency infrastructure through Project Hangang. LG CNS's involvement as the technology contractor adds significant credibility and potential reach for Chainlink in the region.
Chainlink's oracle network is designed to provide secure and reliable off-chain data for blockchain applications, which could be crucial for the development of regulated digital asset products in South Korea.
At the time of writing, Chainlink's LINK token is trading at $12.07, down 1.96% in the past 24 hours and 3.73% over the past week. The broader crypto market is also experiencing a downturn, with 
Bitcoin down 1.59% in the last day and the total market cap at $2.8 trillion.

It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 LINK ≈ ₹1,262.7 (about $12.20), down 0.4% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
