Planned Bitcoin Spot ETF Approvals in South Korea for 2021
In the world of cryptocurrency, South Korea has been making headlines recently. Tristan, the editor-in-chief at Blocktrainer.de, has been at the forefront of reporting these developments.
Tristan, with a background in economics and journalism, has been actively involved with Bitcoin since 2020. His editorial responsibility at Blocktrainer.de has allowed him to cover the growing interest in Bitcoin among the South Korean population.
The Democratic Party in South Korea, also known as "Minju", has been a strong advocate for Bitcoin and crypto spot ETFs. They were a key factor in the candidacy of President Lee Jae-myung during the last elections. Bitcoin-friendly Lee Jae‐myung, who won the South Korean presidential election, has promised more openness towards digital assets.
The Financial Supervisory Commission of South Korea has presented a roadmap for the introduction of Bitcoin and crypto spot ETFs in the second half of 2022. However, the plan needs to be approved by the "Presidential Policy Planning Committee".
Despite the support from the Democratic Party, the central bank of South Korea, the Bank of Korea, opposes the idea of a Bitcoin reserve. Politicians in South Korea have brought up the topic, but the Bank of Korea has spoken out against it. Interestingly, the US has already established a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
Prior to his involvement with Bitcoin, Tristan focused on libertarian economic theory. His unique perspective has added depth to his coverage of the Bitcoin issue in South Korea's elections.
