Kofia董事長Seo Yoo-Seok呼籲批准加密貨幣現場ETF和對安全令牌的正式認可

在Kofia首爾總部最近舉行的新年新聞發布會上，SEO強調了虛擬資產市場的潛在增長

The Korea Financial Investment Association (Kofia) is pushing for the approval of cryptocurrency spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the formal recognition of security tokens by Korean authorities.

韓國金融投資協會（KOFIA）正在推動加密貨幣現貨交易所交易資金（ETF）和韓國當局對安全令牌的正式認可。

During a recent New Year’s news conference at Kofia’s Seoul headquarters, Chairman Seo Yoo-seok highlighted the potential growth of the virtual asset market, influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto policies. He suggested that Korea must act swiftly to maintain a competitive position in the global crypto landscape.

在Kofia首爾總部最近舉行的新年新聞發布會上，董事長Seo Yoo-Seok強調了虛擬資產市場的潛在增長，這受美國總統唐納德·特朗普的親克賴特托政策的影響。他建議韓國必須迅速採取行動，以在全球加密貨幣景觀中保持競爭地位。

“The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs last year, and several products from major asset managers hit the market. Korea should follow suit, ensuring that the country is not left behind,” Seo stated.

“去年，美國證券交易委員會批准了比特幣和以太坊現貨ETF，主要資產經理的幾種產品上市。韓國應該效仿，以確保該國不被拋在後面。” SEO說。

According to Seo, these financial instruments could “enhance market transparency, broaden institutional participation, and solidify Korea’s role” as a leader in digital asset adoption.

SEO認為，這些金融工具可以“提高市場透明度，擴大機構參與並鞏固韓國的作用”，成為數字資產採用領域的領導者。

“Everyone thinks of virtual assets as an investment target for the MZ generation (Millennials + Generation Z), but people in their 50s and 60s also have a lot of interest in and demand for virtual assets. Their funds are larger than those of the MZ generation, but I wonder if it’s right to let them go straight to virtual assets. That’s why I think we need to list an ETF that is recognized worldwide, at least based on Bitcoin and Ethereum, in our market so that investors can invest comfortably and with peace of mind,” the Kofia chairman added during the conference.

“每個人都認為虛擬資產是MZ一代（千禧一代 + Z代）的投資目標，但是50年代和60年代的人們對虛擬資產也有很大的興趣和需求。他們的資金比MZ一代的資金大，但我想知道讓他們直接進入虛擬資產是正確的。這就是為什麼我認為我們需要在我們的市場中列出至少基於比特幣和以太坊在全球範圍內認可的ETF，以便投資者可以舒適地投資並放心，”科菲亞主席在會議期間補充說。

Kofia plans to engage with financial regulators this year, advocating for the inclusion of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs within the nation’s financial framework. By doing so, Korea could attract greater institutional investment, enhance liquidity, and promote a more “robust digital asset ecosystem.”

Kofia計劃今年與金融監管機構互動，主張將比特幣和以太坊現貨ETF納入美國的財務框架中。通過這樣做，韓國可以吸引更大的機構投資，提高流動性並促進更“強大的數字資產生態系統”。

“The inauguration of the second Trump administration is expected to further boost global virtual asset market-related businesses. To ensure that Korea keeps up with the trend, I will continue to support the institutionalization of security tokens and push for the approval of virtual asset ETFs,” Seo stated, as reported by a local news media.

“預計第二屆特朗普政府的就職典禮將進一步促進全球虛擬資產與市場相關的企業。為了確保韓國與趨勢保持一致，我將繼續支持安全令牌的製度化，並推動虛擬資產ETF的批准。” SEO說，正如當地新聞媒體報導的那樣。

In addition to crypto initiatives, Seo also touched upon Kofia’s role in the government-led “Value-up” program during the news conference. Introduced last year, this policy aims to address the perceived undervaluation of domestic stocks, known as the “Korea discount.”

除了加密計劃外，SEO還談到了科菲亞在新聞發布會上以政府領導的“價值”計劃中的作用。該政策於去年推出，旨在解決被稱為“韓國折扣”的國內股票低估。

Seo described it as a comprehensive effort to promote qualitative economic growth, strengthen the financial market, and expand citizens’ financial assets. He called for collaboration between the government, the National Assembly, and the private sector to ensure the program’s success.

SEO將其描述為促進定性經濟增長，加強金融市場並擴大公民金融資產的全面努力。他呼籲政府，國民議會和私營部門之間的合作，以確保該計劃的成功。
