LINE NEXT and Kaia Expand Web3 and Stablecoin Adoption Across Asia Following a Native Deployment of Tether’s USD₮ on Kaia Blockchain
LINE NEXT Inc. is LINE’s venture dedicated to developing and expanding the Web3 ecosystem. Currently, Kaia is exclusively powering the Mini Dapp and Dapp Portal ecosystem accessible within LINE Messenger. As part of this collaboration, USD₮ will be supported across LINE’s messenger-based Mini Dapp platform and self-custodial wallet infrastructure. As a result, by launching USD₮ on Kaia’s rapidly growing Web3 ecosystem, Tether broadens access to stable transactions of the world’s largest stablecoin to LINE’s 200 million monthly active user base. Meaning, users will be able to utilize USD₮ across Mini Dapps for in-app payments, cross-border transfers, and decentralized finance (DeFi) activities, all within the familiar LINE environment.
Mini Dapps built on the Kaia blockchain are set to introduce a wide range of features powered by USD₮, offering users a seamless digital asset experience within LINE Messenger.
Key features of LINE NEXT’s USD₮ initiatives include:
- Users can complete missions within various Mini Dapps and receive rewards in USD₮.
- Users can conveniently send and receive USD₮ with friends directly through the in-app wallet on LINE Messenger.
- Additional features under consideration by LINE NEXT include integrating USD₮ into Mini Dapp
The cryptocurrency market in Asia and Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid growth, emerging as a global hub for crypto adoption and trading. In Vietnam, Triple-A concluded Vietnam holds the second largest cryptocurrency market in ASEAN, with 21.2% of the population – around 20 million people, adopting crypto. In 2024, Vietnam ranked 5th globally in interest in digital assets, 3rd in using international trading platforms, and 6th in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume according to Chainalysis.
Among digital assets, USD₮ is widely used stablecoins by investors in cryptocurrency transactions, thanks to its price stability, high liquidity, and flexible convertibility. USD₮ is also widely supported by popular wallets such as Trust Wallet, Metamask, and locally used exchange wallets in Vietnam such as Remitano, ONUS.
With a large and growing user base, this partnership is expected to serve as a gateway for millions of everyday users across key markets in Asia, including Vietnam, to access on-chain finance.
“Tether’s native launch on Kaia is another step toward making stablecoins accessible to millions of mainstream users,” said Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO. “Through LINE NEXT’s trusted blockchain infrastructure, over 200 million LINE users will now have a straightforward way to engage with digital assets in everyday life. Tether’s expansion to Kaia underscores its commitment to fostering stablecoin adoption across Asia and beyond.”
“Tether’s decision to natively launch USD₮ on Kaia will accelerate the spread of high-end USD-backed stablecoins in Asia, furthering our hybrid payment solutions in collaboration with LINE NEXT,” said Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation. “With the lowest transaction latency among EVM chains and immediate finality, Kaia’s USD₮ will provide the fastest, easiest, and most reliable user experience available across platforms such as LINE, DeFi, and CEXs.”
“LINE NEXT’s adoption of USD₮ will help establish a dollar-based gateway in Asia,” said Youngsu Ko, CEO of LINE NEXT. “By integrating stablecoin-powered services, we aim to bring Web3 services closer to users’ everyday experience.”
Positioned as a strategic gateway for USD-backed stablecoins in Asia, Kaia and LINE NEXT aim to facilitate the widespread circulation of USD₮ and lay the groundwork for USD₮-enabled Web3 services in the region.
The integration of Tether’s market leading stablecoin into Kaia’s robust blockchain and DeFi ecosystem streamlines on/offramps for fiat-to-digital asset conversion and helps drive LINE NEXT’s broader Web3 ambitions.
By bringing together LINE’s mainstream reach, Kaia’s blockchain scalability, and USD₮’s liquidity, this collaboration sets the stage for deeper financial inclusion and practical Web3 applications across Asia’s most active markets, including Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan.Hashtag: #Kaia #USD₮

Five Talent Shifts Redefining Hiring in Hong Kong: PERSOL Unveils 2025 Workforce Insights
PERSOL’s latest Industry Insight Report reveals how digitalisation, sustainability and shifting worker expectations are transforming recruitment and retention across Asia Pacific.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 December 2025 – PERSOL has released its Industry Insight Report 2025, revealing an urgent need for employers across Asia Pacific to adapt to a fast-changing talent landscape. With hybrid digital and ESG-related skills in short supply, the study finds that employee expectations for flexibility, purpose and growth now outweigh pay, reshaping talent attraction and retention across the region.
In Hong Kong, hiring remains selective, with steady demand for digital sales talent, bilingual professionals and frontline leaders. Employers are also facing rising wage pressure and waning youth interest in frontline roles, prompting businesses to rethink how they attract and engage talent. To fill critical service and customer-facing roles, companies are increasingly widening their talent search across the broader region to address persistent shortages.
Based on findings from 12 markets and four core sectors – Manufacturing, Consumer, Professional Services and Supply Chain – the report offers a regional view of how work and workforce priorities are evolving.
APAC’s Workforce in Flux
PERSOL’s Industry Insights Report 2025 finds that automation, sustainability regulation and demographic change are reshaping labour markets across the region.
Employers continue to face widespread skills shortages, with demand for digital, analytical and hybrid capabilities outpacing supply in most major markets. ESG awareness and compliance literacy are also becoming essential hiring criteria as organisations respond to growing sustainability expectations.
The report highlights that Generation Z and millennial professionals are reshaping what they value at work, prioritising flexibility, purpose and development opportunities over pay alone. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), Asia and the Pacific remains the world’s fastest-growing employment region, underscoring the need for businesses to evolve workforce strategies in line with these shifting expectations.[1]
Elvin Tan, Regional Director and Head of Operations APAC said, “The region’s talent economy is at a crossroads. Workforce gaps are no longer just about headcount. They are about adaptability. Employers who balance technology investment with cultural intelligence and purpose-led hiring will emerge stronger in the next cycle.”
The Five Talent Shifts Defining the Future of Work
The report identifies five interconnected shifts reshaping how employers hire, engage and compete for talent across Asia Pacific.
- At the heart of this transformation is the rise of hybrid skills, where digital fluency and human capability increasingly go hand in hand. These capabilities are especially important in digital sales and customer-facing roles, where employers look for talent who can combine technical proficiency with strong communication skills.
- Closely linked to this is the growing importance of sustainability and compliance literacy. As ESG expectations become more deeply embedded in business strategy, roles once limited to sustainability teams are now expanding across finance, operations and supply chain functions.
- The study also points to a major shift in the employer–employee dynamic, with candidates behaving more like consumers. Jobseekers expect transparency, mobile-first communication and a sense of purpose from the hiring process itself. This trend is evident locally, where bilingual candidates increasingly evaluate organisations on culture, stability and clear growth pathways.
- These evolving expectations are most visible among younger professionals, particularly Gen Z and millennials, who prioritise flexibility, belonging and personal growth. For many, meaningful work and supportive leadership now matter more than salary alone.
- The report also highlights a growing need for stronger collaboration between businesses, educators and government to keep skills development aligned with evolving workforce demands. In Hong Kong, this coordinated approach is becoming increasingly important as industries adapt to rapid digitalisation, rising service expectations and ongoing talent shortages.
Zen Loh, Managing Director & Strategic Business Group Head said, “This report reflects PERSOL’s commitment to equipping our clients with data-driven insights that translate into real workforce strategies. We’re helping businesses and jobseekers prepare for what’s next by understanding the skills, mindsets and motivations shaping the future of work.”
Empowering Organisations for What’s Next
PERSOL believes that insight is only powerful when it drives action. Across Asia Pacific, the company works alongside organisations to turn workforce intelligence into real progress, helping them attract, develop and retain the people who will shape the next generation of work.
