Fireblocks partners with South Korean bank on VAT tokenization 

Fireblocks extends its services with the tokenization of tax refunds through NongHyup Bank.

Digital assets platform Fireblocks has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NongHyup Bank, a large South Korean bank specializing in commercial credit and banking services for the agricultural sector. They hope to launch a prototype for tax refunds.

Fireblocks and NongHyup Bank will use the Fireblocks Tokenization Engine in a pilot project to refund value-added tax (VAT) and goods and services tax (GST) on purchases at retail outlets. Fireblocks co-founder and CEO Michael Shaulov told Cointelegraph that they are looking to increase transparency and security. He said:
