Korean Giant SK Telecom Releases Crypto Wallet With CryptoQuant as Partner

Korean crypto services firm Team Blackbird, which runs the blockchain data and analytics platform CryptoQuant, said it introduced a crypto wallet in partnership with SK Telecom (SKT), the biggest mobile phone company in South Korea by users.

Users of the T wallet product will gain access to a blockchain-based application on their phones that lets them store tokens and access CryptoQuant’s on-chain analysis tools – which may help aid their market activities, Team Blackbird CEO Ki Young Joo said in a message to CoinDesk on Wednesday.

Jong Seung Kim, SKT's Web3 business team leader, said the wallet could help contribute to a flourishing crypto market in Korea, which is known for its high trading volumes and significant local interest.
