PARAMETA has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) with RiskX, a specialist in structured product design and AI analytics.
The goal of the partnership is to lower cross-border investment barriers with blockchain technology, so that global investors can access Korea's strong financial products more easily and more safely. Here is what the agreement covers and what it should deliver.
Signed on January 22, the MOU brings together RiskX's expertise in analyzing financial products and PARAMETA's blockchain infrastructure technology.
The two companies will work together to build an onboarding (sign-up and verification) and investment platform for global investors, targeting digital bonds and structured products. Three areas in particular are on the table for practical business cooperation.
- Innovation in cross-border investor onboarding
- Streamlining of payment and settlement processes
- Broad innovation across digital financial services
Korea's financial market already offers plenty of structured bonds and index-linked products with attractive yields.
Investing in them from overseas, though, has been genuinely difficult.
- Meeting regulatory requirements that differ from country to country
- Complicated, cumbersome paperwork
- Physical and institutional barriers such as delayed international transfers and high fees
Those obstacles have kept global capital from flowing in as freely as it might have.
To fix these inefficiencies, the two companies plan to use ParaSta, PARAMETA's stablecoin platform.
On-chain KYC: Investor identity verification (KYC) data is recorded securely on the blockchain, simplifying the complex verification steps that otherwise have to be repeated every time.
Stablecoin infrastructure: Stablecoins replace conventional international transfer networks, speeding up payment and settlement while cutting costs.
The plan is to digitize the entire journey — from investor verification to product subscription, payment and settlement — into a next-generation global investment platform, and to validate the results through a proof of concept (PoC).
- This agreement goes beyond a simple technology partnership. Its real significance is in exploring
- the synergy that digital asset technology can create when it meets an actual financial business.
- Working closely with RiskX, we will build innovative financial services that hold up in the global market
- PARAMETA CEO JH Kim
- Korea has excellent structured products, yet securing global liquidity for them has been hard.
- By using PARAMETA's technology to lower the barrier to entry,
- we want to create an environment where investors anywhere in the world can use the Korean products
- RiskX designs and recommends as conveniently as a local service
- RiskX CEO Janghyuk Yun
PARAMETA will keep working to ensure that blockchain technology solves real problems in financial markets and creates new value.
