韓國道德委員會透露，高級公職人員平均擁有3510萬韓元的加密貨幣資產

據報導，該國政府官員倫理委員會於3月27日透露，被調查的公職人員中有20％以上的公職人員在加密貨幣中持有144億韓元。這意味著受到該國披露要求的2047名官員中有411名持有加密資產。

South Korea's Ethics Commission for Government Officials has revealed that high-ranking public officials in the country hold an average of 35.1 million won ($24,000) in cryptocurrency assets.

韓國政府官員的道德委員會透露，該國的高級公職人員平均擁有3510萬韓元（24,000美元）的加密貨幣資產。

The commission reportedly disclosed that more than 20% of the surveyed public officials hold 14.4 billion won ($9.8 million) in crypto assets. This means 411 of the 2,047 officials subjected to the country's disclosure requirements hold crypto assets. The highest amount disclosed was 1.76 billion won ($1.2 million) belonging to Seoul City Councilor Kim Hye-young.

據報導，該委員會透露，被調查的公職人員中有20％以上持有144億韓元（980萬美元）的加密貨幣資產。這意味著在遭受該國披露要求的2,047名官員中有411名持有加密資產。公開的最高金額是屬於首爾市議員Kim Hye-Young的17.6億韓元（120萬美元）。

The officials held different crypto assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), XRP (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Luna Classic (LUNC) and others.

官員們持有不同的加密資產，包括比特幣（BTC），Ether（ETH），XRP（XRP），Dogecoin（Doge），Luna Classic（Lunc）等。

The disclosure of public officials' crypto assets follows calls for transparency from its prime minister. In 2023, South Korean Prime Minister Han Deok-soo said in a news conference that high-ranking government officials must include crypto in their property disclosures. The official said crypto should be treated similarly to other assets like precious metals.

公職人員的加密資產的披露是在其總理要求透明的呼籲之後。 2023年，韓國總理漢·迪克（Han Deok-soo）在新聞發布會上說，高級政府官員必須將加密貨幣包括在其財產披露中。該官員說，加密貨幣應與其他資產（如貴金屬）類似。

On May 25, 2023, South Korea passed a bill mandating public officials to include crypto in their public asset disclosures. The new system granted South Koreans access to the crypto holdings of at least 5,800 public officials starting in 2024.

2023年5月25日，韓國通過了一項法案，要求公職人員將加密貨幣納入其公共資產披露中。新系統從2024年開始授予韓國人獲得至少5,800名公職人員的加密貨幣。

In June 2024, crypto exchanges in the country launched information provision systems to simplify the registration of information about crypto holdings.

2024年6月，該國的加密交易所啟動了信息提供系統，以簡化有關加密貨幣持有的信息的註冊。

The new law was created in response to the controversy involving South Korean lawmaker Kim Nam-kuk, who was accused of liquidating crypto assets and concealing holdings of around $4.5 million before lawmakers in the country enforced the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) "Travel Rule."

新法律是為了應對涉及韓國立法者金·南·庫克（Kim Nam-Kuk）的爭議，後者被指控清算加密資產，並在該國的立法者執行“旅行統治”的財務行動工作隊（FATF）之前，掩蓋了約450萬美元的持股。

Kim departed from the Democratic Party at the height of the controversial lawsuit to relieve party members of the burden of the lawsuit.

金在有爭議的訴訟中離開民主黨，以減輕黨員的訴訟負擔。

While prosecutors requested a six-month prison sentence for Kim, the lawmaker was eventually acquitted after a judge ruled that crypto assets were not subject to public disclosures at the time Kim made the transactions.

儘管檢察官要求對金正日判處六個月的監禁，但法官裁定加密貨幣資產在金正日進行交易時不受公開披露，最終被無罪釋放。
