濟州島 NFT 瞄準加密貨幣擴張

韓國熱門旅遊目的地濟州島將於今年推出由不可替代代幣（NFT）驅動的遊客卡。

South Korea’s Jeju Island, a renowned tourist destination, is set to introduce visitor cards powered by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) this year. The initiative aims to entice younger, tech-savvy tourists, particularly Millennials and Gen Z.

韓國著名的旅遊勝地濟州島將於今年推出由不可替代代幣（NFT）驅動的遊客卡。該計劃旨在吸引年輕、精通科技的遊客，特別是千禧世代和 Z 世代。

These NFT-linked cards will offer exclusive benefits, including discounts and travel subsidies. Domestic tourists may also receive subsidies, memberships, and discounts on local attractions, which will be redeemable in the region’s local currency.

這些與 NFT 相關的卡將提供獨家優惠，包括折扣和旅行補貼。國內遊客還可以獲得補貼、會員資格以及當地景點的折扣，這些都可以用該地區的當地貨幣兌換。

Moreover, Jeju Island intends to use this card as a tool to encourage young people to explore the island and increase the probability of return visits. The card issuance will commence in the second half of 2025, beginning with a pilot program for domestic visitors.

而且，濟州島打算用這張卡片作為工具，鼓勵年輕人探索島嶼，增加回訪機率。該卡將於 2025 年下半年開始發行，首先針對國內遊客進行試行。

In addition to the card launch, there is a plan to integrate the NFT project with Tamna Jeon, the local blockchain-based stablecoin. This token has been operational since 2019, playing a role in bolstering the local economy. It is utilized for rechargeable prepaid cards that offer incentives to both merchants and customers.

除了推出卡片之外，還計劃將 NFT 專案與本地基於區塊鏈的穩定幣 Tamna Jeon 整合。該代幣自 2019 年開始運營，在提振當地經濟方面發揮了作用。它用於可充值預付卡，為商家和客戶提供誘因。

However, the blockchain that will power the digital collectible card remains undisclosed.

然而，為數位收藏卡提供支援的區塊鏈仍未公開。

Jeju Island's Journey into Crypto Expansion

濟州島的加密貨幣擴張之旅

Over the years, Jeju Island has undertaken several initiatives to expand the crypto ecosystem within its jurisdiction.

多年來，濟州島採取了多項措施來擴大其管轄範圍內的加密生態系統。

In 2019, the island established the Blockchain Hub City Development Research Service to explore advanced blockchain applications. Within two years, it had successfully integrated blockchain technology into various public sector domains, such as traffic management systems and value-added tax (VAT) refunds for foreign tourists.

2019年，島上成立了區塊鏈中心城市發展研究服務中心，探索先進的區塊鏈應用。兩年內，它已成功將區塊鏈技術整合到各個公共部門領域，例如交通管理系統和外國遊客的增值稅（VAT）退稅。

Four years ago, the island also endeavored to become a cashless international city, which led to the introduction of Tamna Jeon. Currently, there are efforts to integrate other cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC), into the local economy.

四年前，該島也致力於成為無現金國際城市，從而引進了 Tamna Jeon。目前，人們正在努力將比特幣（BTC）等其他加密貨幣融入當地經濟。

Obstacles in South Korea’s NFT Regulations

韓國 NFT 監管的障礙

These new developments come as Jeju Island aims to bolster the crypto ecosystem based on its jurisdiction. As stated by Jeju Island Governor Oh Young-hoon:

這些新發展正值濟州島旨在加強基於其管轄範圍的加密生態系統。正如濟州島知事吳永勳所說：

“This year, we are gradually making preparations to focus on digital transformation. The core of all this is Web3. We can apply Web3, including the use of NFTs, to all areas of the government. This will be a step forward.”

「今年，我們正在逐步做好數位轉型的準備。這一切的核心就是Web3。我們可以將Web3，包括NFT的使用，應用到政府的各個領域。這將是向前邁出的一步。

Despite Jeju Island's endeavors in crypto-powered growth, it has encountered obstacles along the way. Many of these challenges can be attributed to the stringent regulations surrounding Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and NFTs in South Korea. However, authorities in the region are now pushing for a change.

儘管濟州島在加密貨幣驅動的成長方面做出了努力，但一路上遇到了障礙。其中許多挑戰可歸因於韓國圍繞首次代幣發行 (ICO) 和 NFT 的嚴格法規。然而，該地區當局目前正在推動變革。

In mid-2024, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) introduced new guidelines for NFTs. The aim of these guidelines is to distinguish NFTs from traditional cryptocurrencies.

2024 年中期，金融服務委員會 (FSC) 推出了針對 NFT 的新準則。這些指南的目的是將 NFT 與傳統加密貨幣區分開來。

At the time, the FSC noted that some NFTs might lose their uniqueness and begin to act more like cryptocurrencies. This stance raised concerns, especially regarding digital collectibles that are easily tradable and exchangeable.

當時，FSC 指出，一些 NFT 可能會失去其獨特性，並開始變得更像加密貨幣。這一立場引起了人們的擔憂，尤其是對於易於交易和交換的數位收藏品。

As a result, several NFT-based businesses in South Korea were forced to close down. For instance, Lotte’s NFT Shop, which set itself apart by using the Korean won (KRW) as its transactional currency, was ultimately compelled to close on July 2.

結果，韓國多家基於 NFT 的企業被迫關閉。例如，樂天的 NFT 商店因使用韓元 (KRW) 作為交易貨幣而脫穎而出，最終被迫於 7 月 2 日關閉。
