韓國金融投資協會 (KOFIA) 會長 Seo Yoo-seok 在 1 月 2 日的新年致辭中概述了一項雄心勃勃的議程，旨在創新金融基礎設施並擴大國內金融投資公司在數位資產市場的範圍。

The Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA) President Seo Yoo-seok announced an agenda in his New Year's address on Jan. 2 to innovate the financial infrastructure and expand the role of domestic financial investment companies in the digital asset market.

韓國金融投資協會（KOFIA）會長 Seo Yoo-seok 在 1 月 2 日的新年致辭中宣布了一項議程，即創新金融基礎設施並擴大國內金融投資公司在數位資產市場中的作用。

"We will help domestic financial investment companies find new growth opportunities in the digital asset market," Seo said, setting the tone for the year.

「我們將幫助國內金融投資公司在數位資產市場尋找新的成長機會，」徐說，為今年定下了基調。

Plans include expanding businesses related to virtual assets, such as legalizing token securities and virtual asset exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

該計劃包括擴大與虛擬資產相關的業務，例如使代幣證券和虛擬資產交易所交易基金（ETF）合法化。

"We will expand the virtual asset ETF business in the new year," Seo said, highlighting the growing importance of digital assets in the financial sector.

Seo表示：「我們將在新的一年擴大虛擬資產ETF業務。」他強調了數位資產在金融領域日益增長的重要性。

Token securities, which are issued using blockchain technology to represent ownership or other rights, and virtual asset ETFs, which track the performance of virtual assets, are expected to open new avenues for investment and growth.

使用區塊鏈技術發行的代幣證券代表所有權或其他權利，以及追蹤虛擬資產表現的虛擬資產 ETF 預計將為投資和成長開闢新的途徑。

In addition to focusing on digital assets, Seo promised to support the overseas expansion of comprehensive financial investment companies.

除了專注於數位資產之外，Seo還承諾支持綜合性金融投資公司的海外擴張。

"We will support large securities companies to grow into top securities companies in Asia by strengthening their global capabilities and continuously promoting institutional improvements to revitalize corporate finance, such as allowing corporate payment settlements," he said.

他表示：“我們將支持大型證券公司成長為亞洲頂尖證券公司，增強其全球能力，並不斷推動允許企業支付結算等振興企業金融的製度完善。”

This move is intended to enhance the global competitiveness of South Korean financial firms and tap into international markets.

此舉旨在增強韓國金融企業的全球競爭力並進入國際市場。

Seo also underscored the importance of investor protection and self-regulation.

Seo 也強調了投資者保護和自我監管的重要性。

Following efforts last year, KOFIA implemented self-regulation measures to improve practices related to bond-type wraps and trusts and presented a standard for the duty structure.

經過去年的努力，KOFIA 實施了自我監管措施，以改善與債券型包裝和信託相關的做法，並提出了職責結構的標準。

"Along with supporting the settlement of the duty structure of financial investment companies, we will support compliance with regulations in preparation for the resumption of short selling," Seo said.

Seo表示：“除了支持解決金融投資公司的責任結構外，我們還將支持遵守法規，為恢復賣空做準備。”

Short selling, a strategy where investors borrow shares to sell them and buy them back at a lower price, requires stringent regulation to maintain market stability and investor confidence.

賣空是一種投資者藉入股票出售並以較低價格回購的策略，需要嚴格的監管以維持市場穩定和投資者信心。

Looking ahead, Seo identified several new tasks for the year, including rationalizing dividend taxation, enhancing corporate value in the capital market, supporting the listing of public funds on exchanges, and expanding the participation of domestic financial investment companies in the entrusted management of pension funds.

展望未來，徐先生確定了今年的幾項新任務，包括合理化股息稅制、提升資本市場企業價值、支持公募基金在交易所上市、擴大國內金融投資公司參與養老基金受託管理等。

He also announced plans to introduce junior individual savings accounts (ISAs) and comprehensively improve the trust business system.

他也宣布計劃推出初級個人儲蓄帳戶（ISA），全面完善信託業務系統。

"We plan to expand the ISA system to help the younger generation by promoting the introduction of the junior ISA system and comprehensively improving the trust business system, including the expansion of trust assets," Seo said.

Seo表示：“我們計劃通過推動引入初級ISA制度和全面完善信託業務體系（包括擴大信託資產）來擴大ISA制度，以幫助年輕一代。”

Regarding the alternative trading system (ATS) "Next Trade," which is set to launch this year, Seo aims to minimize market confusion due to the multiple exchange system and support its successful settlement.

對於今年即將推出的另類交易系統（ATS）“Next Trade”，Seo 旨在最大程度地減少多重交易系統造成的市場混亂，並支持其成功結算。

"We will minimize market confusion due to the multiple exchange system and support its successful settlement," he said.

他表示：“我們將最大程度地減少多重交易系統造成的市場混亂，並支持其成功結算。”
