MoonPay Invests in Korean Fintech Pioneer Finger, Laying Groundwork for a Korean Won Stablecoin Ecosystem

Published

on

By

The landmark ~$76M deal alongside Sungho Electronics and Pantos Holdings aims to connect MoonPay’s global crypto payments infrastructure with Finger’s domestic financial software network.

NEW YORK, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MoonPay, the leading crypto payments network, KOSDAQ-listed Sungho Electronics, and its controlling shareholder Seoryong Electronics have signed an agreement to jointly invest in Finger, one of Korea’s first-generation fintech companies, in a deal that lays the foundation for a Korean won stablecoin ecosystem, from issuance to real-world usage.

Founded in 2000, Finger is a pioneering Korean fintech company whose technology powers the mobile banking apps used by tens of millions of Koreans daily. Its clients include Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, KakaoBank, NongHyup Bank, and IBK Industrial Bank, among others. Its flagship service, “Full Banking,” is a financial platform solution covering account inquiry, transfers, payments, asset management, integrated account aggregation, and simple payment services. Its client base also includes public institutions such as the National Pension Service and the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation. Last year, the company recorded annual revenue of KRW 91.6 billion and operating profit of KRW 1.4 billion.

The approximately KRW 110 billion (~$76M) deal, also includes Pantos Holdings, a strategic investor wholly owned by Koo Bon-ho, a member of the LG founding family and former major shareholder of LX Pantos, the logistics arm of LX Group. The deal will combine MoonPay’s stablecoin issuance and orchestration infrastructure with Finger’s domestic financial software network, while linking Finger’s cloud ERP solution, “Pharos,” with MoonPay’s payments rails to commercialize stablecoin-based settlement for corporate trade payments.

Following the transaction, Seoryong Electronics will become Finger’s largest shareholder. Park Min-soo, the current vice chairman and controlling shareholder, will remain a key shareholder and serve in an advisory role to management.

Seoryong Electronics is the controlling shareholder of Sungho Electronics, with CEO Park Sung-jae holding a 100% stake in Seoryong Electronics. As Sungho Electronics has been focusing on business diversification through M&A, Seoryong Electronics has now also stepped forward directly to secure new growth engines through acquisitions.

Lee Bugeon, Founding Executive and Head of Asia at MoonPay, commented, “This investment opens the way to combine MoonPay’s stablecoin issuance and orchestration infrastructure with Finger’s domestic financial software network. It marks an important foothold for building the full infrastructure needed to support a Korean won stablecoin ecosystem, from issuance to real-world usage.”

Park Sung-jae, CEO of Sungho Electronics, said, “We will support the development of next-generation digital financial services for corporations by connecting ERP-based financial accounting data with payment infrastructure.”

Strong results achieved in world-first Graphene enhanced cement roof tile trial

Highlights

Production trial of graphene enhanced roof tiles with FP McCann achieves CO2 reduction of up to 14%Project conducted in the United Kingdom also showed 26% reduction in CEM I-to-concrete ratio required to produce concrete roof tilesGraphene enhanced roof tiles to be used in new buildings at FP McCann’s Cadeby siteSuccessful results pave the way to enter US$7.6 billion[1] global cement roof tile market

SYDNEY, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — First Graphene Limited (ASX: FGR; “First Graphene” or “the Company”) (FRA:M11) (OTCQB:FGPHF) is pleased to announce results from a world-first production trial of graphene enhanced roof tiles with the UK’s largest precast concrete manufacturer and supplier FP McCann.

The five-month project used 40 tonnes of PureGRAPH® enhanced cement, developed by First Graphene’s partner Breedon Group, to produce more than 10,000 tiles at FP McCann’s Cadeby manufacturing facility in the UK.

The final graphene enhanced cement roof tiles were tested for quality, efficiency and carbon emission reduction potential, as well as performance consistency.

The production process achieved a cradle-to-gate reduction in carbon emissions of up to 14%, reinforcing the lower-carbon benefits of graphene for cement. The required amount of cement for the tiles was also reduced by up to 8%.

Importantly, the trial confirmed graphene enhanced cement, classified as CEM-II, could produce the same roof tiles at the same strength with fewer materials and lower costs compared to CEM-I.  

The tiles will be distributed for use in a variety of projects, including installation on a new building at FP McCann’s Cadeby site.

Conversations have commenced with industry partners following receipt of the results to determine interest in the graphene enhanced roof tiles for projects across the United Kingdom.

The UK Government has also committed to deliver more than one million affordable and sustainable new homes in the next three years and has been funding innovative construction solutions to achieve this goal.

This project was supported via ‘Contracts for Innovation’ with the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and the ‘Resource Efficient Construction Impacts’ program by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’ (DEFRA).

The trial solidifies First Graphene’s entrance into the global cement roof tile market which is anticipated to grow to US$11.8 billion by 2034[1].

First Graphene Managing Director and CEO, Michael Bell, said:

“The results of this inaugural trial of graphene-enhanced cement roof tiles with FP McCann has reaffirmed the viability and performance benefits of a lower-emission cement product for the construction industry.

Reducing the amount of cement required by up to 20% has a significant impact on the carbon footprint of these roof tiles, paving the way for more sustainable houses and buildings.

As industry and governments look for innovative solutions to develop lower-carbon infrastructure, First Graphene and FP McCann, in partnership with Breedon Group, have a tested production blueprint to achieve emission reduction goals while maintaining or exceeding material performance capability.”
