加密货币已成为韩国的临时总统大选中的一个决定性问题，候选人争夺越来越多的世代数字资产投资者的支持。

加密货币已成为韩国的临时总统大选中的一个决定性问题，候选人争夺越来越多的世代数字资产投资者的支持。

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.

所有三位领先者都推出了加密货币友好的建议。其中包括将现货比特币（BTC）交易所交易资金（ETF）合法化以及目前仅将法定与列额交易限制在五个平台上的银行规则的放松。

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日的投票计划提前两年提前两年，这是由前总统Yoon Suk-Yeol弹imp的，在2024年末宣称戒严令之后。尽管很快被立法者推翻，但突然的权力抓住导致了政治危机，并最终撤职。

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年竞选活动倾向于改革加密法规的承诺，主要针对年轻的选民。这次，随着老一辈开始将大量财富投入数字资产，对数字资产的政治关注只会加剧。

Presidential election debate clash on stablecoins

总统选举辩论在Stablecoins上发生冲突

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

这次选举有三名领先的候选人，所有人都承诺要推进当地的加密经济。

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

反对民主党的Lee Jae-Myung在上次选举中输给了Yoon，并以第二次加密友好式竞选返回。

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·穆诺（Kim Moon-Soo）正在当前执政党《人民权力党》（PPP）下运行。前总统Yoon在选举之前已经与PPP保持距离，而Kim为破裂的保守基地定义了新的方向。

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曾经是PPP中有史以来最年轻的领导人。他现在领导自己的新成立的改革党，这是他在与统治集团分裂后于2024年1月成立的小党。

“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.

“政治领域已积极地将[加密货币]作为关键运动议程，”东圭大学区块链研究中心负责人帕克·昂格·詹（Park Sung-Jun）告诉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都承诺要简化严格的银行规则，这些规则需要加密交流才能与有执照的银行合作提供法定服务，该系统已经创建了仅五个批准的平台的近乎垄断的系统。该结构不包括公司参与，因为它要求用户使用其法律身份在合作伙伴银行开设帐户。

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

Lee还提议推出一个与WON的固定固定的，以减少对国外发行的代币的依赖。

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向后推，并指出韩国曾经曾经有过赢得的算法Stablecoin，Terrakrw（KRT），Terra生态系统的一部分遭受了数十亿美元的崩溃。

“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提议在没有任何保障措施的情况下推出另一个稳定的股份。哪些资产将支持它？如何处理市场风险？我们将如何避免重复过去的失败？没有答案？

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.

在现场辩论中，两名候选人再次在Stablecoins上发生了冲突，李·梅（Lee Jae-Myung）主张集中式和菲亚特支持的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·蒙蒙（Lee Jae-Myung）在2022年大选中是前总统尹（Yoon）的反对者，当时他还倡导了加密货币友好的政策。但是，他比Yoon不那么积极，后者做出了几位亲克莱普托承诺。其中有些人从未实施过比赛对欧文（P2E）游戏和初始硬币产品的禁令。

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.

据报道，李·朱塞克（Lee Jun-Seok）称游戏为韩国的“第二半导体行业”，该行业占2024年该国总出口总额的五分之一。他承诺通过税收，出口和人才发展的监管支持，将目标占全球游戏市场的10％。他补充说，驳回基于区块链的P2E游戏的法规加速了创意产业的出埃及。

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游戏仍根据当地法规被禁止，但是在韩国最大的游戏开发商之一Nexon推出了新冠军之后，最近在投资者中引起了兴趣，以及与游戏内经济相关的新加密货币。
