Abstract:Yoon Suk-yeol, South Korean President-elect, did some promises that can be taken as crypto-friendly ones, as he considers himself a crypto enthusiast that plans to push to the crypto industry.
He wanted to legalize ICOs which became very popular in the country years ago.
Many people see Yoon as a 'crypto enthusiast' who advocates for the industry.
Q4 2021 volumes have gone up or down and how much?
According to Nikkei, the President-elect has no business experience whatsoever, but he has in mind many ideas concerning the crypto industry.
Prior to his current role as the leader of South Korea, Yoon was the countrys top prosecutor. He planned to make initial coin offerings (ICOs) legal in the country, as they became illegal in 2017.
According to one of the proposals made by the former prosecutor and now President of the nation, cryptocurrency trading gains could get exempt from taxation if the profit from trading does not exceed 50 million won or $40,000, allowing crypto gains to be treated as stock trading gains.
Throughout the country, cryptocurrency beneficiaries and advocates have warmly welcomed Yoon and his pro-crypto proposals and will be happy when various barriers to crypto adoption are removed. Because of the crackdown on the industry and the prohibition of ICOs, most projects originating from South Korea moved to Singapore and raised money, issued coins, and paid taxes there rather than in their homeland.
Metaverse and South Korea
On other fronts concerning the local crypto sphere, South Koreas Metaverse ETFs have been gaining the attraction of retail investors. The metaverse is a virtual reality platform where users worldwide interact with each other via 3D avatars.
Companies have heavily invested in real estate in the metaverse, virtual stores, and live events. In October 2021, 4 metaverse ETFs were launched in South Korea, and over $90 million was invested in the ETFs in less than a couple of weeks.
The 4 South Korean metaverse ETFs are NH Amundi Asset Management‘s Hanaro Fn K-Metaverse MZ, Samsung Asset Management’s KODEX K-Metaverse Active, KBSTAR iSelect Metaverse, and Mirae Asset Global Investments Tiger Fn Metaverse.

In recent years, blockchain technology has rapidly evolved from a niche innovation behind Bitcoin into a transformative force across industries. At its core, blockchain decentralization refers to the distribution of authority and decision-making away from a central entity and into the hands of a distributed network of participants. This shift redefines how data is stored and verified and paves the way for trustless, transparent, and resilient systems that challenge traditional centralized models.
