Overview
South Korea’s Jeonbuk Bank has reportedly launched won-denominated, Bitcoin-backed loans for corporate customers. The product uses a third-party custodian for the collateral, while defaults may lead to court-ordered liquidation rather than the bank taking possession of the Bitcoin.

Why now
- Multiple reports published within the same 24-hour window describe the product launch.
- The reported offering is limited to corporate customers and may depend on regulatory changes and market demand.
Why it matters
- It links Bitcoin collateral to a reported traditional bank lending product.
- Third-party custody and court-led liquidation shape how the lending model handles default risk.

- Jeonbuk Bank reportedly began offering Bitcoin-backed loans to corporate customers in South Korea.
