Crypto.com 进军韩国数字资产市场

Crypto.com 很快将通过其最近收购的本地授权交易所 OK-BIT 在韩国推出零售交易服务。虽然 Crypto.com 的目标是通过 4 月 29 日推出的应用程序提供广泛的加密货币服务，但韩国的监管限制可能会限制该交易所的产品，可能会排除机构交易者并限制加密货币到加密货币的交易选项。

Crypto.com Establishes Foothold in South Korean Digital Asset Market

Crypto.com 进军韩国数字资产市场

Singapore-based digital asset exchange Crypto.com has announced its imminent entry into the South Korean market, marking a significant expansion in the company's global footprint. The move comes after Crypto.com's acquisition of OK-BIT, a locally licensed crypto exchange, in 2022.

总部位于新加坡的数字资产交易所 Crypto.com 宣布即将进入韩国市场，这标志着该公司全球足迹的显着扩张。在此之前，Crypto.com 于 2022 年收购了本地授权的加密货币交易所 OK-BIT。

On April 29th, Crypto.com will launch its retail trading services in South Korea, offering a comprehensive suite of features to its customers. The exchange plans to replace OK-BIT with its proprietary trading app, providing access to over 150 cryptocurrencies, exclusive NFT projects through Crypto.com NFT, educational resources via Crypto.com University, and a loyalty program with attractive rewards.

4 月 29 日，Crypto.com 将在韩国推出零售交易服务，为其客户提供一整套功能。该交易所计划用其专有的交易应用程序取代 OK-BIT，提供对 150 多种加密货币的访问、通过 Crypto.com NFT 的独家 NFT 项目、通过 Crypto.com University 的教育资源以及具有有吸引力奖励的忠诚度计划。

Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, stating, "We are incredibly excited to be launching the Crypto.com App for retail users in South Korea – a market of tremendous importance to the growth of our business, and one where consumers are very interested in crypto."

Crypto.com 总裁兼首席运营官埃里克·安齐亚尼 (Eric Anziani) 表达了他对此次扩张的热情，他表示：“我们非常高兴能够为韩国的零售用户推出 Crypto.com 应用程序，这是一个对增长至关重要的市场我们的业务，也是消费者对加密货币非常感兴趣的业务。”

Despite this milestone, Crypto.com faces potential challenges in offering a full trading experience in South Korea due to the country's stringent digital asset regulations. According to local media reports, the exchange plans to operate under OK-BIT's VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) rights until September 2023. This arrangement may limit Crypto.com's app to crypto-to-crypto trading due to OK-BIT's lack of a bank partnership for won market operations.

尽管取得了这一里程碑，但由于韩国严格的数字资产法规，Crypto.com 在提供完整交易体验方面仍面临潜在挑战。据当地媒体报道，该交易所计划在 2023 年 9 月之前在 OK-BIT 的 VASP（虚拟资产服务提供商）权利下运营。由于 OK-BIT 缺乏韩元市场业务的银行合作伙伴关系。

Furthermore, institutional traders based in South Korea are prohibited from investing directly in crypto, which could hinder Crypto.com's ability to serve this segment of the market.

此外，韩国的机构交易者被禁止直接投资加密货币，这可能会阻碍 Crypto.com 服务该市场领域的能力。

Despite these regulatory hurdles, Crypto.com remains committed to fostering the growth of the digital asset industry in South Korea. Anziani emphasized, "We are dedicated to working closely with South Korean regulators to help grow the domestic digital assets industry responsibly."

尽管存在这些监管障碍，Crypto.com 仍然致力于促进韩国数字资产行业的增长。 Anziani 强调，“我们致力于与韩国监管机构密切合作，以负责任的方式帮助发展国内数字资产行业。”

The exchange's entry into South Korea is seen as a positive sign for the country's digital asset ecosystem, bringing a reputable player with a global presence and a commitment to innovation. As South Korea continues to explore the potential of digital assets, Crypto.com's presence is expected to contribute to the industry's development and adoption by retail investors and businesses alike.

该交易所进入韩国被视为该国数字资产生态系统的积极信号，带来了一家具有全球影响力并致力于创新的信誉良好的参与者。随着韩国不断探索数字资产的潜力，Crypto.com 的出现预计将有助于该行业的发展以及散户投资者和企业的采用。
