NEW: The South Korean government and central bank are pushing to amend the country's forex market law to regulate stablecoins as a payment instrument, local news outlet Digital Asset reported.
South Korea is currently preparing its crypto regulatory framework — the Digital Asset Basic Act — which would establish licensing regimes for exchanges and rules for stablecoin issuance.
NEW: The Commodity Markets Council, which represents US derivatives exchanges including CME, told the CFTC to withhold approval of Kalshi's proposed perpetual oil futures contract and close a loophole that allows retail traders to access offshore platforms, according to Bloomberg.
NEW: Polymarket has fired its chief marketing officer, Matthew Modabber, who was closely allied with CEO Shayne Coplan, the New York Post reported.
This reportedly followed an internal investigation that started earlier this year after a series of incidents raised concerns among the company's investors.
THE BLOCK: Chainlink has partnered with LG CNS, the technology arm of South Korean conglomerate LG Group, to support infrastructure for Korea's $68 billion digital asset market.
