"Hecto Financial's Stablecoin and AI-Powered Global Payment Network... Driving Corporate Value Growth"

On July 27, LS Securities evaluated Hecto Financial as a "leading domestic company in stablecoin-based payment and settlement."

LS Securities researcher Sun Yujin stated in the report, "Payment Platform: Focus on the Intersection of Policy, Value, and Industry Growth," that "in the mid- to long-term, Hecto Financial has the potential to become a core operator in the domestic stablecoin payment and settlement infrastructure." Sun added, "Should institutionalization fully begin, the company stands to directly benefit from the expansion of the stablecoin-based overseas remittance and cross-border settlement market, and we also expect that the value of the existing payment infrastructure will be reassessed."

The researcher also analyzed, "We highlight the company’s transition from fixed-fee to percentage-based fee as a new earnings structure and the full-scale growth of the cross-border settlement business as investment points, which are expected to lead to improved profitability over the mid- to long-term."

Sun continued, "In the process of promoting its cross-border business, Hecto Financial has confirmed that the demand among overseas platform clients for stablecoin settlements could rapidly increase. Accordingly, the company is participating in the Circle Payments Network (CPN), working to establish a stablecoin payment network that connects financial institutions and fintech companies." She added, "After domestic regulations are restructured, the company's business areas are projected to expand to include overseas remittances, trade payments, and micro-payments based on AI agents. In particular, in the era of agentic AI, there is a high possibility that cross-border micropayments will surge, highlighting the value of Hecto Financial as a global payment network provider."

Sun further explained, "Hecto Financial has entered the early stage of transitioning from a traditional payment company into a global digital financial infrastructure company by expanding internal account payments and cross-border settlements, leveraging stable cash generation from its existing business." She concluded, "A global payment network based on stablecoins and AI can act as a core driver of corporate value growth over the mid- to long-term."
