Lee Jae-myung Pledges Bitcoin ETF Approval—Will Seoul Embrace Crypto’s Wall Street Makeover?
Lee Jae-myung Pledges Bitcoin ETF Approval—Will Seoul Embrace Crypto’s Wall Street Makeover?

South Korea’s political arena just got a crypto twist. Presidential contender Lee Jae-myung throws down the gauntlet—promising to greenlight Bitcoin ETFs if elected. A direct challenge to the nation’s cautious regulators.
Wall Street’s favorite crypto wrapper might soon get a Korean stamp. But can politicians outmaneuver bureaucratic inertia? (Spoiler: The finance ministry still thinks blockchain is a type of bike lock.)
This isn’t just policy—it’s a power play. ETF approval would force open Seoul’s $20B crypto market to institutional money. Watch out for the ’Kimchi Premium’ 2.0 when arbitrageurs smell blood.
