"Hecto Financial Achieves Record Results... Benefits from Stablecoins Becoming Evident"

On August 31, iM Securities assessed that Hecto Financial is expected to achieve record-breaking results this year.

In a report released the same day, iM Securities analyst Lee Sangheon stated, "Under this record-setting business environment, Hecto Financial is expected to benefit visibly from stablecoins." He added, "If the Digital Asset Basic Act passes in the future, legal grounds will be provided for issuing and distributing won-based stablecoins, which could accelerate innovation in digital finance such as payments and remittances."

In February, Hecto Financial joined the Circle Payments Network (CPN), operated by Circle, the global issuer of the stablecoin USDC, securing a foundation for global stablecoin payment and settlement infrastructure. The analyst projected that, based on this, Hecto Financial will expand its business model by establishing USDC-based cross-border payment and settlement infrastructure services and similar solutions.

He further commented, "If won-based stablecoins are legislated and widely adopted in the future, Hecto Financial could serve as a global settlement infrastructure hub, which would further highlight its growth potential." He analyzed that, by organically integrating CPN’s global settlement standards with Hecto Wallet One’s wallet infrastructure within the Hecto Group, won-based stablecoins could be exchanged and settled with major global digital assets and be practically utilized in the e-commerce environment of global platforms.

The analyst also highlighted Hecto Financial's proactive response to the AI agent payments market. He stated, "As agent commerce—where AI handles everything from product search to purchase and payment for consumers—gains attention, blockchain-based digital currencies, including stablecoins, are emerging as suitable alternatives for ultra-micro and high-frequency payments." He continued, "Hecto Financial is proactively responding to the market by participating as a partner in the x402 ecosystem, a global AI agent-dedicated payment protocol, leveraging its existing payment and stablecoin infrastructure."

 

He added, "Profitability will further improve and drive performance growth as revenue from high-margin proprietary membership-based services, such as 'My Account Payment,' a simplified cash payment service, begins to increase in earnest."
