– Selected as a Participant in the CES 2026 Seoul Integrated Pavilion
GIRAFFE AI LABS, a Singapore-headquartered company with its R&D center in Korea, has been selected as a participating company in the CES 2026 Seoul Integrated Pavilion. The company currently operates stablecoin-based financial technology services across 25 countries. It remains rare for a Korean startup to be selected for an official CES pavilion after commercializing real-world financial technology services and expanding from Asia into the GCC, MENA, and African regions. Industry observers view the selection as recognition of both GIRAFFE’s international scalability and its core technological philosophy.
GIRAFFE AI LABS previously established its presence in the global fintech market by being named one of the top 6 startups at Money20/20 Asia 2025. At CES 2026, the company plans to showcase its stablecoin-based reward services that bridge digital assets with everyday spending, while also presenting the vision and core technological direction of its future Web3 brokerage platform. GIRAFFE is preparing an integrated environment combining STOs, RWAs, and prime brokerage capabilities, with the goal of a live service in 2026.
Byung-wook Cho, CEO, has spent over a decade developing financial algorithms based on AI-driven quantitative strategies and live trading data. More recently, the company has been strengthening its capabilities in quantum computing-based risk validation and strategy optimization. “We are not a company that simply follows global trends,” Cho said. “We are designing a new structure from the ground up. Building a balanced and mutually beneficial ecosystem is at the core of GIRAFFE’s philosophy.”
GIRAFFE’s financial architecture also incorporates a Social Impact Fund (SIF), through which a portion of the company’s revenue is automatically linked to social contributions. The structure is designed so that users’ financial activities translate into tangible social impact, such as education and basic living support, reflecting the company’s commitment to implementing ‘finance with positive influence’ through technology.
Building on its existing stablecoin-based services, GIRAFFE AI LABS plans to develop a Web3 financial infrastructure capable of transparently handling a broad range of assets. All operational processes are designed to be executed on blockchain, with the aim of expanding access to financial opportunities across more countries and communities.
Through its participation in CES 2026, GIRAFFE AI LABS is expected to present its vision for next-generation financial infrastructure, where AI, quantitative research, and quantum computing converge, while accelerating global partnerships and contributing to the growth of the Web3 financial ecosystem.
