韓國將於6月3日進入高風險總統大選

投入：韓國將於6月3日進入高風險總統大選，以選擇Yoon Suk Yeol的繼任者。像美國一樣，美國估計有1500萬加密投資者

South Korea is set for a crucial presidential election on June 3, with candidates vying for the vote of Generation MZ—millennials and members of Generation Z.

韓國將於6月3日舉行至關重要的總統大選，候選人正在爭奪MZ代的投票 - 千禧一代和Z世代的成員。

These young voters, known for their tech savviness and interest in new investment trends, are also the main drivers of the nation’s crypto market. Together, the estimated 15 million crypto investors in South Korea, constituting at least 30% of its population, form a pivotal voting bloc.

這些年輕的選民以其對新投資趨勢的技術曲折和興趣而聞名，也是該國加密市場的主要驅動力。據估計，韓國的大約1500萬加密投資者佔其人口的至少30％，構成了一個關鍵的投票集團。

Accordingly, presidential candidates are integrating digital asset policy proposals into their platforms to win over this segment of voters.

因此，總統候選人正在將數字資產政策建議納入其平台，以贏得這一選民。

The candidates’ proposals come amid increasing demand for regulated investment products and financial inclusion.

候選人的提議提出了對受監管投資產品和金融包容的需求的增加。

Moreover, institutions are largely restricted from entering the crypto market, and the lack of spot crypto ETFs in Korea—despite their availability in the U.S.—has limited options for diversified investing.

此外，機構在很大程度上受到了進入加密市場的限制，儘管在美國的可用性中，但在韓國缺乏現貨加密ETF，而多元化投資的選擇有限。

Two Frontrunners Offer Pro-Crypto Platforms

兩名領先者提供親克萊托普平台

Local media reports that the two frontrunners—Lee Jae-myung from the Democratic Party and Kim Moon-soo from the People Power Party—lead the charge with pro-crypto platforms.

當地媒體報導說，這兩位領先者 - 民主黨的李·耶和 - 人民權力黨的金·穆恩（Kim Moon-soo）都以親克賴特托平台為指控。

Both candidates have reportedly pledged to legalize spot crypto ETFs (exchange-traded funds), a move currently banned under Korean law. These financial instruments would enable investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin and other digital assets through traditional stock markets.

據報導，兩位候選人都承諾將現場加密貨幣ETF（交易所交易基金）合法化，這一舉動目前是根據韓國法律禁止的。這些金融工具將使投資者能夠通過傳統股票市場獲得對比特幣和其他數字資產的影響。

“All three major South Korean presidential candidates support Bitcoin ETFs and institutional investment. Currently, Bitcoin ETFs and institutional investments are banned in Korea. 100% volume comes from retail,” noted Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, in a recent post on X.

“所有三個主要的韓國總統候選人都支持比特幣ETF和機構投資。目前，韓國禁止比特幣ETF和機構投資。100％的批量來自零售，” CryptoQuant的首席執行官Ki Young Ju指出，在X。

According to The Korean Herald, Lee Jae-myung further distinguishes his campaign by proposing to develop a won-backed stablecoin market. The candidate aims to reduce reliance on foreign stablecoins like USDT and USDC and curb capital outflows.

據《韓國先驅報》報導，李·梅·蒙（Lee Jae-Myung）提議開發贏得的穩定股幣市場，進一步區分了他的競選活動。候選人旨在減少對USDT和USDC和Curb Cabs資本流出的依賴。

“We need to establish a won-backed stablecoin market to prevent national wealth from leaking overseas,” read an excerpt in the report, which cited Lee during a policy discussion with economic content creators.

該報告中的一份摘錄說：“我們需要建立一個贏得的穩定的穩定市場，以防止國民財富洩漏到海外。”

South Korea currently prohibits domestic stablecoin issuance. However, Lee’s plan would introduce a regulatory path under the upcoming Digital Asset Basic Act.

韓國目前禁止國內穩定發行。但是，李的計劃將根據即將到來的《數字資產基本法》引入監管路徑。

The proposed legislation, expected to be tabled this week, will cover digital assets’ legal status, issuance, and circulation. It will also require stablecoin issuers to register with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and hold at least 50 billion won in reserves.

擬議的立法預計將在本週提出，將涵蓋數字資產的法律地位，發行和流通。它還將要求Stablecoin發行人在金融服務委員會（FSC）註冊，並至少持有500億韓元的儲備。

According to the report, domestic crypto exchanges recorded 56.8 trillion won ($40.8 billion) in outflows between January and March alone. Nearly half of these were tied to US dollar-based stablecoins.

根據該報告，僅在1月至3月之間，國內加密貨幣交易所記錄了568萬韓元（408億美元）的外流。其中將近一半與美元基於美元的穩定股關係。

However, critics warn of potential macroeconomic risks, citing the privilege of money creation being conferred on the private sector.

然而，批評家警告說，潛在的宏觀經濟風險是為了賦予私營部門的貨幣創造特權。

“Stablecoins are essentially another form of banking, creating money out of nothing,” Shin Bo-sung, senior researcher at the Korea Capital Market Institute, reportedly stated.

據報導，韓國資本市場研究所的高級研究員Shin Bo-Sung說：“ Stablecoins本質上是銀行業務的另一種形式，無所事事。”
