After the measure was approved by the National Assembly in December, the commission has been working to put together the final details of the program.

該措施於12月獲得國民議會批准後，委員會一直在努力整理該計劃的最終細節。

The initiative will allow non-profit entities to open non-commercial real-name accounts at commercial lenders for the purpose of donating to non-profits or for service-related expenses.

此舉是將加密貨幣整合到主流金融體係並為行業創造更有利的環境的更廣泛努力的一部分。

The commission has also been working to develop a regulatory framework for crypto exchanges and to promote the use of blockchain technology for financial services.

該委員會還一直在努力開發一個用於加密交易所的監管框架，並促進將區塊鏈技術用於金融服務。

As these changes unfold, John Matheson, co-founder and managing director of Asset Token Ventures and an expert in both certified public accounting and law, shared his insights on the implications of Korea’s approach to crypto regulation.

隨著這些變化的發展，資產代幣冒險公司的聯合創始人兼董事總經理，經過認證的公共會計和法律專家，分享了他對韓國對加密貨幣法規的影響的見解。

"We're observing a global trend towards integrating digital assets into traditional financial markets, and Korea appears to be a step ahead in this journey," said Matheson, whose firm is based in the U.S. Virgin Islands and focuses on introducing various real-world asset (RWA) tokens, with its flagship product being the mortgage-backed securities-oriented MBSToken. This provides security, transparency and stability in the cryptocurrency market.

Matheson說：“我們正在觀察將數字資產整合到傳統金融市場中的全球趨勢，而韓國似乎在這一旅程中邁出了一步。” Matheson說，他的公司位於美國維爾京群島，專注於引入各種現實世界中的資產（RWA）代幣，其旗艦產品是抵押貸款支持的證券與以證券為中心的MbStoper。這提供了加密貨幣市場的安全性，透明度和穩定性。

"The pilot program on corporate investments in cryptocurrencies is a strong signal, especially with the emphasis on seamless participation and interoperability with global markets."

“關於加密貨幣公司投資的試點計劃是一個強烈的信號，尤其是強調無縫參與和與全球市場的互操作性。”

The country’s smallest commercial lender, Korea Development Bank, is also planning to provide a limited service for converting crypto to cash for salary payments and taxes from June, while the commission will be focusing on instituting an accounting standard for crypto assets held by banks.

該國最小的商業貸方韓國開發銀行還計劃提供有限的服務，以將加密貨幣轉換為現金以獲取薪金和稅款，而委員會將重點側重於製定銀行持有的加密資產的會計標準。

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Korea is rolling out a pilot program to permit non-profit entities to open non-commercial real-name accounts at commercial lenders. The initiative is part of broader efforts to integrate cryptocurrencies into the mainstream financial system and create a more favorable environment for the industry.

韓國的金融服務委員會（FSC）正在推出一項試點計劃，以允許非營利實體在商業貸方開設非商業現實名稱帳戶。該倡議是將加密貨幣整合到主流金融體係並為行業創造更有利的環境的更廣泛努力的一部分。

"The initiative will be kicking off with non-profit entities and crypto exchanges, with the timeframe set for June. For listed firms and investment firms, the plan is to expand the service by the third quarter of this year," a commission official explained.

一位委員會官員解釋說：“該倡議將從非營利實體和加密交易所開始，定於6月。對於上市公司和投資公司，該計劃將在今年的第三季度擴大服務。”

The move is part of a broader effort by the South Korean government to promote the use of blockchain technology and digital assets. Earlier this year, the government announced that it would be investing 1 trillion won ($793 million) over five years to create a "digital asset ecosystem."

此舉是韓國政府在促進區塊鏈技術和數字資產使用的更廣泛努力的一部分。今年早些時候，政府宣布將在五年內投資1萬億韓元（7.93億美元），以創建“數字資產生態系統”。

The government is also working to develop a regulatory framework for crypto exchanges and to promote the use of blockchain technology for financial services.

政府還努力為加密交易所開發一個監管框架，並促進將區塊鏈技術用於金融服務。

"The Korean government's approach demonstrates that digital assets can coexist with traditional finance under clear regulations, providing a blueprint for other nations," Matheson added. "It also indicates that crypto trading will become more mainstream, increasing institutional participation and investor confidence. As we see the U.S. Congress and President [Donald] Trump forming a working group to discuss a regulatory framework for digital assets, the global landscape is converging on this critical topic."

Matheson補充說：“韓國政府的方法表明，數字資產可以與明確法規的傳統財務共存，為其他國家提供藍圖。” “這也表明，加密貨幣交易將變得更加主流，增加機構參與和投資者的信心。當我們看到美國國會和總統[唐納德]特朗普組成一個工作組，討論一個數字資產的監管框架，全球景觀正匯聚在這個關鍵的話題上。”

The administration is planning to bring together members of Congress, federal regulatory agencies, state regulators and various crypto industry participants to advise the president on how best to regulate the industry
