LINE NEXT and Kaia have announced Project Unify, targeting Asia’s stablecoin market. The platform aims to simplify cross-border payments by integrating stablecoin services into the widely used LINE Messenger.
Youngsu Ko, CEO of LINE NEXT, has expressed confidence in leading Asia’s stablecoin ecosystem expansion, aiming for accessibility and safety in their new super-app. “We plan to lead the expansion of Asia’s stablecoin ecosystem by introducing a super-app that anyone can use easily and safely.” Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia, emphasized consolidating Asia’s fragmented payment infrastructure.

Developers are expected to leverage the SDK provided, boosting cross-chain liquidity integration. LINE and Kaia aim to onboard over 100 dApps, potentially reshaping the financial landscape in Asia.
The collaboration is observed closely by regulators, with a focus on compliance, especially in South Korea. Analysts are exploring how historical trends can inform the rollout and the impacts on regional liquidity.
