Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by the highest-authority primary sources available. Two separate official press releases from Circle, the creator of the Arc Blockchain, directly and explicitly confirm that "KRW1 issued by BDACS" is one of the stablecoins launching on the platform. This provides definitive evidence from a primary party involved in the launch.This core claim is further corroborated by a wide consensus of secondary sources from various crypto news outlets (Bitget, Odaily, Ainvest, Phemex), all of which report the same information, confirming the partnership between BDACS and Circle for the KRW1 stablecoin on the Arc blockchain.The only piece of potentially conflicting evidence is an official social media post from BDACS itself, which mentions the launch of KRW1 on the Avalanche blockchain. However, this does not directly contradict the launch on Circle's Arc. It is common for digital assets and stablecoins to be issued on multiple blockchains simultaneously (a multi-chain strategy). Therefore, the most logical interpretation is that KRW1 will be available on both Avalanche and Circle's Arc, not that the information about the Arc launch is incorrect. Given the direct confirmation from Circle, the evidence overwhelmingly supports the truthfulness of the statement.
Summary

According to BDACS’ official statement, the company will issue KRW1, a stablecoin pegged to the Korean won, on Circle’s Arc blockchain. This marks KRW1’s second integration, following its initial launch on Avalanche. The expansion builds on a memorandum of understanding with Circle and the KRW1 trademark registration completed in December 2023, aiming to broaden secure, fiat-backed digital transaction options.
