所有3个主要韩国总统候选人都支持比特币现场ETF

这三个主要的韩国总统候选人 - 金·穆斯（Kim Moon-Soo）（人民权力党），李·詹·蒙（Lee Jae-Myung）（民主党）和李·朱尼（Lee Jun-Seok）（改革党）

All three major South Korean presidential candidates – Kim Moon-soo (People Power Party), Lee Jae-myung (Democratic Party), and Lee Jun-seok (Reform Party) – have publicly expressed support for the approval of Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETFs and the inclusion of institutional investors in the country’s cryptocurrency market.

所有三位主要的韩国总统候选人 - 金·穆斯 - 苏（人民权力党），李·詹·蒙（Lee Jae-Myung）（民主党）和李·朱尼·塞克（Lee Jun-Seok）（改革党） - 都公开表示支持比特币（BTC）的批准ETF以及将机构投资者纳入该国的加密货币市场。

This is quite the turn of events considering that presently, South Korea prohibits the issuance and trading of Bitcoin ETFs and restricts institutional participation in cryptocurrency markets. As a result, 100% of crypto trading volume in the country is driven by retail investors.

考虑到目前，韩国禁止发行和交易比特币ETF并限制机构参与加密货币市场的事件。结果，该国100％的加密交易量是由散户投资者驱动的。

This strong retail presence has led to a distinctive market phenomenon in the country known as the ‘Kimchi Premium,’ where local Bitcoin prices often exceed global averages by a large margin.

这种强大的零售业务导致了该国被称为“泡菜溢价”的独特市场现象，当地比特币价格通常超过全球平均值。

However, the unified stance among presidential candidates may very well mean a big regulatory shift in South Korea, potentially leading to many new initiatives. For instance, allowing institutional investment could introduce substantial capital into the market, increasing liquidity.

但是，总统候选人之间的统一立场很可能意味着韩国发生了很大的监管转变，这可能导致许多新的倡议。例如，允许机构投资可以将大量资本引入市场，从而增加流动性。

Additionally, introducing Bitcoin ETFs could help align South Korea’s crypto market with global standards, probably even reducing the mentioned Kimchi Premium occurrence.

此外，引入比特币ETF可以帮助将韩国的加密货币市场与全球标准保持一致，甚至可能降低上述泡菜溢价。

Whatever the future holds, the upcoming presidential election next month on June 3 has brought cryptocurrency regulation to the forefront of political discourse in the country.

无论未来如何，下个月即将举行的总统大选将加密货币监管置于该国政治话语的最前沿。

The Asian country has instituted a lot of rules for crypto in the last several years. For example, since 2021, South Korea has implemented strict real-name account systems for crypto exchanges. Then, a year later, exchanges were required to share personal info on senders and receivers of transactions over $1,000.

在过去的几年中，亚洲国家为加密制定了许多规则。例如，自2021年以来，韩国为加密交易所实施了严格的真名帐户系统。然后，一年后，要求交流分享有关发件人和交易接收者超过1,000美元的个人信息。

There is also a ban on privacy coins, where cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) were banned from exchanges due to anonymity concerns.

也禁止隐私硬币，因为匿名问题，诸如Monero（XMR）和Zcash（ZEC）之类的加密货币被禁止进行交流。

Despite all of the regulations, it’s worth noting that the country also saw multiple developments regarding the crypto industry, with major companies investing in crypto and blockchain initiatives. The Bank of Korea (BoK) has been running Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) trials with financial institutions and tech partners like Samsung.

尽管有所有法规，但值得注意的是，该国还看到了有关加密行业的多个发展，主要公司投资了加密货币和区块链计划。韩国银行（BOK）一直与金融机构和三星这样的技术合作伙伴进行中央银行数字货币（CBDC）试验。

Also, SK Group (a multinational manufacturing and services conglomerate headquartered in Seoul) and LG CNS (tech branch of the country’s fourth-largest conglomerate LG Group) are investing in blockchain logistics, supply chain, and digital identity projects.

此外，SK Group（位于首尔的跨国制造和服务集团总部位于首尔）和LG CNS（该国第四大企业集团LG集团的技术分支）正在投资区块链物流，供应链和数字身份项目。

That said, there have been some signs of potential changes, and with the upcoming presidential elections, something is bound to happen for the crypto industry in South Korea.

也就是说，存在一些潜在变化的迹象，并且随着即将到来的总统大选，韩国加密货币产业必定会发生一些事情。
