韓國（KR）越來越接近對比特幣（BTC）交易所交易基金（ETF）的決定

MK在其報告中說，韓國政府以日本為例，因為島國過去一直對數字資產持懷疑態度，但可能正在改變其語調。

South Korea is edging closer to a decision on Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to a report from local publication Maeil Business Newspaper (MK).

根據當地出版物Maeil商業報紙（MK）的報告，韓國正在更接近對比特幣（BTC）交易所交易基金（ETF）的決定。

The report claims that the country’s financial regulator, the Financial Supervisory Service, has examined the Japan Financial Services Agency’s legislative trend toward digital assets and shared it with related institutions.

該報告聲稱，該國的金融監管機構金融監管服務已經研究了日本金融服務局對數字資產的立法趨勢，並與相關機構共享。

Earlier this month, Nikkei reported that Japan’s financial regulator was considering positioning crypto as financial products alongside securities, which could lead to a lifting of the ban on crypto ETFs in the country. The discussion in Japan is expected to last through the first half of 2025 before a legislative plan is drafted and submitted to the National Assembly in 2026.

本基基本月早些時候報告說，日本的金融監管機構正在考慮將加密貨幣定位為與證券同時的金融產品，這可能導致取消對該國加密ETF的禁令。預計日本的討論將持續到2025年上半年，直到2026年起草立法計劃並提交國民議會。

At a press conference after the virtual asset committee meeting on Feb. 12, vice chairman Kim So-young said that the regulator would carefully review (spot Bitcoin ETFs), and it is similar in the broader context.

在2月12日舉行的虛擬資產委員會會議之後的新聞發布會上，副主席金·揚（Kim So-Young）表示，監管機構將仔細審查（點比特幣ETF），並且在更廣泛的背景下是相似的。

“There are countries that have not yet introduced it. There are England and Japan,” he said.

“有些國家尚未引入它。有英格蘭和日本。”他說。

The report continues that South Korea, where over 30% of citizens invest in crypto assets, has seen political struggles after former president Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested on Jan. 15 following an attempt to impose martial law in the country.

該報告繼續說，韓國有30％以上的公民對加密貨幣資產進行投資，在前總統Yoon Suk Yeol於1月15日被捕之後，在該國實施武術之後，政治鬥爭。

Since then, the government has continued its crypto regulation efforts. On Feb. 13, the Financial Services Commission announced that charities and universities would be able to sell crypto donations starting in the second half of 2025.

從那以後，政府繼續其加密監管工作。 2月13日，金融服務委員會宣布，慈善機構和大學將能夠從2025年下半年開始出售加密貨幣捐贈。

The government has continued with enforcement actions as well. On Jan. 16, Upbit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the country, received a suspension notice for alleged KCY violations. Upbit reportedly filed a lawsuit against South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit to overturn the business sanctions.

政府也繼續採取執法行動。 1月16日，該國最大的加密貨幣交易所之一Upbit因涉嫌違反KCY的行為而收到了停賽通知。據報導，UPBIT針對韓國金融情報部門提起訴訟，以推翻業務制裁。
