Bank of Korea completes first phase of CBDC Test
According to a report published on Monday, the Bank of Korea completed the first phase of the simulation project of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in December 2021.
The Bank of Korea has completed the first phase
The South Korean central bank said that the first phase of its CBDC simulation test was completed in December, while the second phase is currently underway. The first phase of the mock test covered some of the essential functions of the sovereign digital currency, such as distribution and issuance. The second phase of the central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilot will test real-world functions such as cross-border transfers, retail payments, and offline payments.The Bank of Korea (BOK) would like to include financial institutions in the second phase, similar to China's current digital yuan. However, unlike China, the digital currency issued by BOK would also consider user privacy. After completing the second phase in June this year, the bank plans to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the project and further experiments on usability in cooperation with financial institutions.
South Korea is at the forefront of innovation
The Bank of Korea has been working to establish a CBDC pilot since at least 2020. In July 2021, the bank selected Ground X, a blockchain subsidiary of South Korean tech giant Kakao, to build the CBDC pilot platform. According to the data of Atlantic Council, 91 nations are currently working on their sovereign digital currency, and South Korea is one of the 14 nations that have reached the pilot phase.South Korea has emerged as one of the leading crypto nations in recent years and recently announced its plans to become a leader in the metaverse as well. While China is currently at the top of the CBDC game, many European and Asian countries have accelerated their development plans to keep up with its pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
