韓國可能很快就會跟隨香港批准比特幣ETF

韓國很快可能會跟隨香港，因為該國最高總統候選人表示親克賴特託的職位，因此將現場比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）合法化。

South Korea could soon follow Hong Kong in launching Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as the country’s top presidential candidates have expressed pro-crypto positions.

由於該國最高總統候選人表示親克萊托普的職位，因此韓國很快就會跟隨香港發起比特幣交易所交易的資金（ETF）。

Still, some industry observers are cautious about the likelihood of near-term regulatory change.

儘管如此，一些行業觀察者仍然對近期監管變化的可能性保持謹慎。

“All three major South Korean presidential candidates support #Bitcoin ETFs and institutional investment,” Ki Young Ju, the founder and CEO of onchain data platform CryptoQuant, said on May 14.

OnChain數據平台CryptoQuant的創始人兼首席執行官Ki Young Ju在5月14日表示：“這三位主要的韓國總統候選人都支持#BitCoin ETF和機構投資。”

Currently, Bitcoin ETFs and institutional crypto investments are banned in South Korea, which means that “100% [of the] volume comes from retail,” Ju added.

JU補充說，目前，韓國禁止了比特幣ETF和機構加密投資，這意味著“零售價的100％來自零售”。

On May 6, South Korea’s Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung promised to legalize spot crypto ETFs, lower transaction fees and “create a safe investment environment so that young people can [build] assets and plan for the future, according to a report by The Korean Economic Daily (KED).

5月6日，根據韓國經濟日報的一份報告，韓國民主黨領導人李·梅（Lee Jae-Myung）承諾將現場加密貨幣ETF合法化，較低的交易費用並“創造一個安全的投資環境，以便年輕人可以為未來建立資產和計劃。

The Democratic Party made similar promises in its 2024 election campaign, including the legalization of spot crypto ETFs, but progress has been delayed, KED reported.

據KED報導，民主黨在其2024年的競選活動中也做出了類似的諾言，包括合法化現場加密ETF的合法化，但進步已延遲。

Candidates back ETFs, but history casts doubt

候選人回到ETF，但歷史引起了懷疑

While the crypto-friendly stances of the leading candidates suggest a promising future for digital asset legislation in South Korea, regulation experts are skeptical.

雖然領先候選人的加密友好型立場表明，韓國數字資產立法的前途有希望的未來，但監管專家持懷疑態度。

“The candidates’ pro-crypto pledges to push to legalise spot Bitcoin ETFs and reduce fees signal a potential shift. But history tempers optimism,” Anndy Lian, author and intergovernmental blockchain adviser, told Cointelegraph.

“候選人的親克賴特托承諾推動將現場比特幣ETF合法化並減少費用表示潛在的轉變。但是歷史誘惑樂觀。”

“A pro-crypto president could drive reform, aligning South Korea with global trends like the US, where Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $17 billion in net inflows since 2021,” Lian said, adding that the Financial Services Commission’s tone also suggested “regulatory openness” for cryptocurrencies.

Lian說：“親聯合會總統可以推動改革，使韓國與美國這樣的全球趨勢保持一致，在那裡，比特幣ETF自2021年以來吸引了超過170億美元的淨流入。”

However, the People Power Party, elected in 2022, also promised to lift the crypto ETF ban and revise the controversial one-exchange-one-bank rule, “but failed to act before President Yoon’s impeachment,” Lian added.

但是，2022年當選的人民黨也承諾取消加密ETF禁令，並修改有爭議的單交易一家銀行規則，“但未能在Yoon總統的彈each派之前採取行動，” Lian補充說。

In Hong Kong, the first batch of Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) ETFs launched on April 30, but they have seen disappointing trading activity so far.

在香港，第一批比特幣和Ether（ETH）ETF於4月30日推出，但到目前為止，他們令人失望的交易活動令人失望。
