EMURGO Signs MoUs With South Korean Government-Approved Trade Associations

Last month EMURGO announced the formal signing of MoUs with Korea Blockchain Contents Association (KBCCA) & Korea Mobile Game Association (KMGA) to mutually identify and explore opportunities with integrating Cardano’s blockchain-based solutions into the Korean digital content & mobile gaming industries. These agreements support EMURGO’s mission to drive the adoption of a global Cardano and bring value to ada holders.

What Is EMURGO Doing Globally Outside of Asia To Drive ADA Adoption?

As the official commercial arm focused on driving the global adoption of Cardano and bring value to ada holders, EMURGO has placed high strategic importance of having an international vision. The Cardano community is certainly global in nature and definitely wouldn’t be the strong project it is today without the efforts and interests of Cardano community members from markets all over the world.
