济州岛 NFT 瞄准加密货币扩张

韩国热门旅游目的地济州岛将于今年推出由不可替代代币（NFT）驱动的游客卡。

South Korea’s Jeju Island, a renowned tourist destination, is set to introduce visitor cards powered by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) this year. The initiative aims to entice younger, tech-savvy tourists, particularly Millennials and Gen Z.

韩国著名的旅游胜地济州岛将于今年推出由不可替代代币（NFT）驱动的游客卡。该计划旨在吸引年轻、精通科技的游客，特别是千禧一代和 Z 世代。

These NFT-linked cards will offer exclusive benefits, including discounts and travel subsidies. Domestic tourists may also receive subsidies, memberships, and discounts on local attractions, which will be redeemable in the region’s local currency.

这些与 NFT 相关的卡将提供独家优惠，包括折扣和旅行补贴。国内游客还可以获得补贴、会员资格以及当地景点的折扣，这些都可以用该地区的当地货币兑换。

Moreover, Jeju Island intends to use this card as a tool to encourage young people to explore the island and increase the probability of return visits. The card issuance will commence in the second half of 2025, beginning with a pilot program for domestic visitors.

而且，济州岛打算用这张卡作为工具，鼓励年轻人探索岛屿，增加回访概率。该卡将于 2025 年下半年开始发行，首先针对国内游客进行试点。

In addition to the card launch, there is a plan to integrate the NFT project with Tamna Jeon, the local blockchain-based stablecoin. This token has been operational since 2019, playing a role in bolstering the local economy. It is utilized for rechargeable prepaid cards that offer incentives to both merchants and customers.

除了推出卡之外，还计划将 NFT 项目与本地基于区块链的稳定币 Tamna Jeon 整合。该代币自 2019 年开始运营，在提振当地经济方面发挥了作用。它用于可充值预付卡，为商家和客户提供激励。

However, the blockchain that will power the digital collectible card remains undisclosed.

然而，为数字收藏卡提供支持的区块链仍未公开。

Jeju Island's Journey into Crypto Expansion

济州岛的加密货币扩张之旅

Over the years, Jeju Island has undertaken several initiatives to expand the crypto ecosystem within its jurisdiction.

多年来，济州岛采取了多项举措来扩大其管辖范围内的加密生态系统。

In 2019, the island established the Blockchain Hub City Development Research Service to explore advanced blockchain applications. Within two years, it had successfully integrated blockchain technology into various public sector domains, such as traffic management systems and value-added tax (VAT) refunds for foreign tourists.

2019年，岛内成立了区块链中心城市发展研究服务中心，探索先进的区块链应用。两年内，它已成功将区块链技术整合到各个公共部门领域，例如交通管理系统和外国游客的增值税（VAT）退税。

Four years ago, the island also endeavored to become a cashless international city, which led to the introduction of Tamna Jeon. Currently, there are efforts to integrate other cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC), into the local economy.

四年前，该岛还致力于成为无现金国际城市，从而引入了 Tamna Jeon。目前，人们正在努力将比特币（BTC）等其他加密货币融入当地经济。

Obstacles in South Korea’s NFT Regulations

These new developments come as Jeju Island aims to bolster the crypto ecosystem based on its jurisdiction. As stated by Jeju Island Governor Oh Young-hoon:

这些新发展正值济州岛旨在加强基于其管辖范围的加密生态系统之际。正如济州岛知事吴永勋所说：

“This year, we are gradually making preparations to focus on digital transformation. The core of all this is Web3. We can apply Web3, including the use of NFTs, to all areas of the government. This will be a step forward.”

“今年，我们正在逐步做好数字化转型的准备。这一切的核心就是Web3。我们可以将Web3，包括NFT的使用，应用到政府的各个领域。这将是向前迈出的一步。”

Despite Jeju Island's endeavors in crypto-powered growth, it has encountered obstacles along the way. Many of these challenges can be attributed to the stringent regulations surrounding Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and NFTs in South Korea. However, authorities in the region are now pushing for a change.

尽管济州岛在加密货币驱动的增长方面做出了努力，但一路上遇到了障碍。其中许多挑战可归因于韩国围绕首次代币发行 (ICO) 和 NFT 的严格法规。然而，该地区当局目前正在推动变革。

In mid-2024, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) introduced new guidelines for NFTs. The aim of these guidelines is to distinguish NFTs from traditional cryptocurrencies.

2024 年中期，金融服务委员会 (FSC) 推出了针对 NFT 的新准则。这些指南的目的是将 NFT 与传统加密货币区分开来。

At the time, the FSC noted that some NFTs might lose their uniqueness and begin to act more like cryptocurrencies. This stance raised concerns, especially regarding digital collectibles that are easily tradable and exchangeable.

当时，FSC 指出，一些 NFT 可能会失去其独特性，并开始变得更像加密货币。这一立场引起了人们的担忧，尤其是对于易于交易和交换的数字收藏品。

As a result, several NFT-based businesses in South Korea were forced to close down. For instance, Lotte’s NFT Shop, which set itself apart by using the Korean won (KRW) as its transactional currency, was ultimately compelled to close on July 2.

结果，韩国多家基于 NFT 的企业被迫关闭。例如，乐天的 NFT 商店因使用韩元 (KRW) 作为交易货币而脱颖而出，最终被迫于 7 月 2 日关闭。
