Danal’s stock price remained in the 2,400 won range until April this year. However, as stablecoins gained attention in the domestic stock market, the stock price continued to rise sharply. In September this year, the price climbed as high as 11,000 won.


Danal is a company that provides payment gateway (PG) and electronic payment services. It launched the blockchain payment project Paycoin (PCI) in 2019. The company also has the capability to manage the entire process from issuance to distribution and settlement through an integrated platform.


In particular, Danal is rapidly advancing its stablecoin-related business. In July this year, the company filed for 20 trademarks related to stablecoins. Then, in September, it unveiled a demo version of a stablecoin-based payment platform.


That’s not all. Danal also launched the “Paycoin Mastercard,” a virtual asset-based debit card that allows users to directly top up Paycoin (PCI) and make real-time payments at Mastercard-affiliated merchants worldwide, both online and offline. Additionally, the company introduced “NC Wallet,” a non-custodial wallet equipped with stablecoin payment and integration features.


In October last year, Danal issued the 8th CB worth 35 billion won. The coupon and maturity interest rates are 0%. The conversion period runs from October 30, 2025 to September 30, 2029. The company issued the bonds to expand its payment services and pursue new business ventures.
