Gyeonggi-do, South Korea – July 17, 2025 — HancomWITH, the holding company of South Korea’s leading tech group Hancom, has officially launched a strategic initiative into the real-world asset (RWA) sector through the development of a gold-backed stablecoin, signaling a major step toward bridging traditional commodities with digital financial infrastructure.
Bringing Informal Gold Transactions Into the Digital Economy
CEO Sang-Yup Song emphasized the untapped potential of the global gold market, noting that over 40% of gold transactions occur outside of regulated systems due to logistical barriers. “Gold is one of the most trusted safe-haven assets,” Song stated. “But a large portion of this market remains informal. With digital exchange infrastructure, we can bring these transactions into the formal economy with transparency and efficiency.”
To address these inefficiencies, HancomWITH acquired Hancom Gold Exchange in 2020, establishing a foundation for digital transformation in precious metals trading. The exchange has since become one of Korea’s top four gold trading platforms, achieving its best performance ever in H1 2025.
Arowana Token Unlocks Global Access to Tokenized Gold
HancomWITH’s RWA initiative is being launched in collaboration with Arowana Hub, a strategic affiliate within the Hancom ecosystem. On July 2, the company’s native asset Arowana Token (ARW) was successfully listed on GATE.io and MEXC, allowing real-time, global trading of gold-backed digital assets.
By tokenizing gold, HancomWITH is offering a bridge between real-world value and digital liquidity, enabling users worldwide to access gold markets without the friction of physical storage, custody or cross-border exchange complications.
Positioned for Regulatory Alignment in the Stablecoin Sector
The move comes amid growing efforts by the Korean government to legislate the stablecoin market. CEO Song commented on the shifting regulatory landscape:
“Until now, converting physical assets like gold or real estate into fiat or crypto has involved excessive bureaucracy. A gold-backed stablecoin allows seamless circulation across jurisdictions—but this requires clear legal frameworks and robust custody solutions that protect users.”
HancomWITH Leverages Software Expertise for Next-Gen Financial Solutions
With KRW 350 billion (~$250 million) in estimated assets and a legacy as the largest shareholder of Hancom, Korea’s leading software company, HancomWITH is strategically positioned to deliver secure, compliant, and tech-forward RWA solutions. The company plans to expand its portfolio of AI- and security-driven software, including quantum-resistant encryption and AI facial recognition technologies.
“In a world of escalating digital threats, our mission is to provide next-generation infrastructure that secures both data and digital assets,” said Song. “Our evolution from software to asset-backed digital services is both natural and necessary.”
