Out of this, around 70% is in the form of digital assets, highlighting the potential for further growth with the introduction of the T wallet.
In conclusion, the collaboration between SK Telecom, Aptos, and Atomrigs Lab marks a significant milestone in the Web3 industry, with the potential to boost South Korea’s cryptocurrency market. This move reflects the company’s commitment to leveraging blockchain technology and expanding its digital offerings.
