韓國金融服務委員會對加密貨幣採取觀望態度，優先考慮投資者保護

金融服務委員會（FSC）主席金秉煥在接受電視採訪時表示，韓國將採取觀望態度

South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced that it will not be adopting U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to build a national Bitcoin reserve, at least for the time being.

韓國金融服務委員會（FSC）宣布，至少暫時不會採納美國當選總統川普建立國家比特幣儲備的計畫。

FSC Chairman Kim Byung-hwan stated during a television interview that South Korea will be taking a wait-and-see approach, particularly in regard to how other nations respond to Trump’s cryptocurrency adoption plans.

FSC 主席 Kim Byung-hwan 在接受電視採訪時表示，韓國將採取觀望態度，特別是在其他國家如何回應川普的加密貨幣採用計劃方面。

“We aren’t anywhere near a move to [build a Bitcoin reserve] at the moment,” Kim said, highlighting the need to prioritize investor protection over rapid adoption of digital assets.

Kim 表示：“目前我們還沒有採取任何措施[建立比特幣儲備]”，他強調需要優先考慮投資者保護而不是數位資產的快速採用。

The announcement comes at a time when cryptocurrency trading volumes on South Korean exchanges have reportedly surpassed those of traditional stock markets. However, the FSC remains skeptical about cryptocurrencies’ potential economic benefits compared to conventional stock markets.

據報道，這項消息發布之際，韓國交易所的加密貨幣交易量已超過傳統股票市場。然而，與傳統股票市場相比，金融服務委員會仍然對加密貨幣的潛在經濟效益持懷疑態度。

“We consider stock market investments to be an important economic factor, as the stock markets create a virtuous circle,” Kim said. “However, we are not sure if cryptoassets can really have a positive effect on the economy.”

「我們認為股市投資是一個重要的經濟因素，因為股市創造了良性循環，」金說。 “但是，我們不確定加密資產是否真的能夠對經濟產生積極影響。”

The regulatory body’s conservative position reflects ongoing concerns about market volatility and investor protection. The FSC plans to increase market monitoring efforts, particularly focusing on potential price manipulation and unfair trading practices in the cryptocurrency sector.

監管機構的保守立場反映了對市場波動和投資者保護的持續擔憂。 FSC 計劃加大市場監管力度，特別關注加密貨幣領域潛在的價格操縱和不公平交易行為。

Kim acknowledged that the regulatory stance has evolved since the implementation of the Virtual Asset Protection Act in July, shifting from viewing cryptocurrencies as “dangerous” to considering how to integrate them into the existing financial system.

Kim 承認，自 7 月《虛擬資產保護法》實施以來，監管立場發生了變化，從將加密貨幣視為「危險」轉變為考慮如何將其整合到現有的金融體系中。

“For now, our priority is working out how to connect this market to the existing financial system and how to establish a relationship with it,” Kim explained.

「目前，我們的首要任務是研究如何將這個市場與現有的金融體系連接起來，以及如何與其建立關係，」金解釋道。

The decision puts South Korea at odds with anticipated U.S. cryptocurrency policies under the incoming administration. While maintaining a cautious approach, Kim indicated that South Korea’s position could be subject to review based on changes in global regulatory landscapes and domestic market conditions.

這項決定使韓國與即將上任的美國政府預期的加密貨幣政策不一致。金在保持謹慎態度的同時表示，韓國的立場可能會根據全球監管環境和國內市場狀況的變化進行審查。

The announcement follows a period of significant price appreciation in Bitcoin, which has recently approached the $99,000 mark globally, though South Korean regulators remain focused on establishing a robust regulatory framework before considering any national reserve initiatives.

在該公告發布之前，比特幣價格經歷了一段時期的大幅升值，最近全球比特幣價格已逼近 99,000 美元大關，儘管韓國監管機構在考慮任何國家儲備舉措之前仍專注於建立健全的監管框架。
