The claim of the global economic guru that ‘blockchain’ and ‘virtual assets (cryptocurrency)’ is the key to Korea’s rebirth as an international financial hub has been raised.
According to Edaily on the 16th, Lori Knight, chairman of Oxford Metrica, a British investment advisory firm, and chairman of the Templeton Foundation’s investment advisory committee, made this argument in an article titled ‘The New World Order, the Choice of the Korean Economy’.
Chairman Knight said, “The Yoon administration’s agenda to develop Korea as a global fintech center will be an important key to the future of the Korean economy,” he said.
He emphasized, “As Korea has strong competitiveness in the IT field, it will be advantageous for nurturing blockchain and virtual asset businesses.
“The Korean government should first design a sophisticated classification system for virtual assets such as utility tokens and security tokens,” he said.
