원화 스테이블코인 도입 논의 급물살, 금융위와 한은 충돌로 입법 지연 우려

Guest: Kwon Hyuk-joong, Economic Commentator With the cryptocurrency market rapidly growing, stablecoins are attracting attention as a new means of payment. Stablecoins are virtual assets whose value is pegged 1:1 to a specific asset, such as the dollar, euro, or gold. In Korea, discussions on the introduction of a won-denominated stablecoin are gaining momentum. On October 20th, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced that it would finalize the "Phase 2 of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act," which includes a regulatory framework for stablecoins, within the year. However, the FSC and the Bank of Korea (BOK) are clashing over the scope of the supervisory authority and emergency measures for won-denominated stablecoins, increasing the likelihood of legislative delays. Let's take a closer look at the direction and current status of the introduction of won-denominated stablecoins. #stablecoin #virtualcurrency #virtualasset #securities #product #Bank of Korea #Financial Services Commission #KRWStablecoin #Cryptocurrency #CoinRun #Digital Asset Basic Act #Tether #Circle #Genius Act #Naver #Dunamu #Kakao #Hana Financial Group #Economy #Economic Insights #Jeong Cheol-jin
