LG CNS targets a 68 billion USD market

LG CNS and Chainlink will work on oracle infrastructure, interoperability and cross-chain standards for Korean institutions. An oracle connects blockchain applications with data or services outside their own blockchain, while cross-chain technology links separate blockchain networks. The partnership also includes solutions for Korean institutions, according to MarketScreener.

The source said the Korean digital asset market has more than 11 million eligible users. LG CNS's work on Project Hangang gives the agreement an institutional connection, but the announcement described infrastructure and standards work rather than a live commercial launch, according to Cryptopolitan.
