加密貨幣已成為韓國的臨時總統大選中的一個決定性問題，候選人爭奪越來越多的世代數字資產投資者的支持。

All three front-runners have rolled out crypto-friendly proposals. These include the legalization of spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the easing of banking rules that currently restrict fiat-to-crypto trading to just five platforms.

所有三位領先者都推出了加密貨幣友好的建議。其中包括將現貨比特幣（BTC）交易所交易資金（ETF）合法化以及目前僅將法定與列額交易限制在五個平台上的銀行規則的放鬆。

The June 3 vote is slated to come around two years early, triggered by the impeachment of former president Yoon Suk-yeol after his controversial declaration of martial law in late 2024. Though quickly overturned by lawmakers, the abrupt power grab led to a political crisis and his eventual removal from office.

6月3日的投票計劃提前兩年提前兩年，這是由前總統Yoon Suk-Yeol彈imp的，在2024年末宣稱戒嚴令之後。儘管很快被立法者推翻，但突然的權力抓住導致了政治危機，並最終撤職。

Yoon’s 2022 campaign leaned heavily on promises to reform crypto regulations — largely aimed at younger voters. This time, the political focus on digital assets has only intensified, as older generations begin to pour significant wealth into digital assets.

Yoon的2022年競選活動傾向於改革加密法規的承諾，主要針對年輕的選民。這次，隨著老一輩開始將大量財富投入數字資產，對數字資產的政治關注只會加劇。

Presidential election debate clash on stablecoins

總統選舉辯論在Stablecoins上發生衝突

This election has three leading candidates, and all of them have promised to advance the local crypto economy.

這次選舉有三名領先的候選人，所有人都承諾要推進當地的加密經濟。

Lee Jae-myung of the opposing Democratic Party lost to Yoon in the last election and returns with a second crypto-friendly campaign.

反對民主黨的Lee Jae-Myung在上次選舉中輸給了Yoon，並以第二次加密友好式競選返回。

Kim Moon-soo is running under the current ruling party, the People Power Party (PPP). Former president Yoon has distanced himself from the PPP ahead of the election, leaving Kim to define a new direction for the fractured conservative base.

金·穆諾（Kim Moon-Soo）正在當前執政黨《人民權力黨》（PPP）下運行。前總統Yoon在選舉之前已經與PPP保持距離，而Kim為破裂的保守基地定義了新的方向。

Lee Jun-seok was once the youngest-ever leader of the PPP. He is now leading his own newly formed Reform Party, a minor party he founded in January 2024 after splitting with the ruling bloc.

Lee Jun-Seok曾經是PPP中有史以來最年輕的領導人。他現在領導自己的新成立的改革黨，這是他在與統治集團分裂後於2024年1月成立的小黨。

“The political sphere has actively embraced [cryptocurrencies] as a key campaign agenda,” Park Sung-jun, head of the Blockchain Research Center at Dongguk University, told Cointelegraph.

“政治領域已積極地將[加密貨幣]作為關鍵運動議程，”東圭大學區塊鏈研究中心負責人帕克·昂格·詹（Park Sung-Jun）告訴Cointelegraph。

Lee Jae-myung and Kim have both pledged to ease strict banking rules that require crypto exchanges to partner with licensed banks to offer fiat services — a system that has created a near-monopoly of just five approved platforms. The structure in place excludes corporate participation, as it requires users to open accounts at partner banks using their legal identities.

Lee Jae-Myung和Kim都承諾要簡化嚴格的銀行規則，這些規則需要加密交流才能與有執照的銀行合作提供法定服務，該系統已經創建了僅五個批准的平台的近乎壟斷的系統。該結構不包括公司參與，因為它要求用戶使用其法律身份在合作夥伴銀行開設帳戶。

Lee has also proposed launching a stablecoin pegged to the won to reduce reliance on tokens issued abroad.

Lee還提議推出一個與WON的固定固定的，以減少對國外發行的代幣的依賴。

Lee Jun-seok pushed back, noting that South Korea once had a won-pegged algorithmic stablecoin, TerraKRW (KRT), part of the Terra ecosystem that suffered a multibillion-dollar collapse.

Lee Jun-Seok向後推，並指出韓國曾經曾經有過贏得的算法Stablecoin，Terrakrw（KRT），Terra生態系統的一部分遭受了數十億美元的崩潰。

“Lee Jae-myung proposes launching another stablecoin without presenting any safeguards. What assets will back it? How will market risks be handled? How will we avoid repeating past failures? There are no answers,” Lee Jun-seok said in a Facebook post, criticizing his opponent for turning stablecoins into a “slogan.”

“ Lee Jae-Myung提議在沒有任何保障措施的情況下推出另一個穩定的股份。哪些資產將支持它？如何處理市場風險？我們將如何避免重複過去的失敗？沒有答案？

The two candidates clashed again on stablecoins during a live debate, where Lee Jae-myung argued for the safety of centralized and fiat-backed stablecoins.

在現場辯論中，兩名候選人再次在Stablecoins上發生了衝突，李·梅（Lee Jae-Myung）主張集中式和菲亞特支持的stablecoins的安全。

Lee Jae-myung was the opponent of former president Yoon in the 2022 election, when he also championed crypto-friendly policies. However, he was less aggressive than Yoon, who made several pro-crypto pledges. Some of them, like lifting bans on play-to-earn (P2E) gaming and initial coin offerings, were never implemented.

李·濛濛（Lee Jae-Myung）在2022年大選中是前總統尹（Yoon）的反對者，當時他還倡導了加密貨幣友好的政策。但是，他比Yoon不那麼積極，後者做出了幾位親克萊普托承諾。其中有些人從未實施過比賽對歐文（P2E）遊戲和初始硬幣產品的禁令。

Lee Jun-seok reportedly called gaming South Korea’s “second semiconductor industry,” which made up more than a fifth of the country’s total exports in 2024. He pledged to target 10% of the global gaming market through regulatory support in taxation, exports and talent development. He added that regulations that dismiss blockchain-based P2E games accelerate the exodus of creative industries.

據報導，李·朱塞克（Lee Jun-Seok）稱遊戲為韓國的“第二半導體行業”，該行業佔2024年該國總出口總額的五分之一。他承諾通過稅收，出口和人才發展的監管支持，將目標佔全球遊戲市場的10％。他補充說，駁回基於區塊鏈的P2E遊戲的法規加速了創意產業的出埃及。

P2E games remain banned under local regulations, but interest has recently surged among investors following the launch of a new title by Nexon, one of South Korea’s biggest game developers, along with a new cryptocurrency tied to its in-game economy.

P2E遊戲仍根據當地法規被禁止，但是在韓國最大的遊戲開發商之一Nexon推出了新冠軍之後，最近在投資者中引起了興趣，以及與遊戲內經濟相關的新加密貨幣。
