Chainlink (LINK) entered a partnership with LG CNS announced on October 22, 2026, to advance infrastructure for South Korea's 68 billion USD digital asset market, according to The Block. The Chainlink price is 11.58 USD as of October 25, 2026, down 4.04 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 15, 2026, according to Investing.com.

LG CNS targets 11 million Korean users

The Block reported on October 22, 2026, that LG CNS will integrate Chainlink's cross-chain, data and orchestration infrastructure into digital asset platform solutions for Korean institutions. Cross-chain technology connects applications and assets across separate blockchains, while data services supply external information to blockchain applications.

The companies said the partnership will focus on expanding the utility and distribution of Korean won stablecoins, which are digital tokens designed to track the value of the won. The Block reported that the potential user base includes more than 11 million eligible users. South Korea is working on a Digital Asset Basic Act, while the commercial issuance and trading of local-currency stablecoins still lack a clear legal basis, according to the same report.

According to OpenZeppelin, its tooling has been used behind more than 38 trillion USD in transferred value, while Chainlink infrastructure has enabled more than 36 trillion USD in transaction value. The agreement embeds Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol and Automated Compliance Engine into OpenZeppelin tools, with migration work toward the Chainlink Runtime Environment.
