Lee Jae-myung, the leading candidate in South Korea’s presidential race, has vowed to authorize spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) if elected. The Democratic Party nominee framed the proposal as a youth-focused economic initiative, aiming to unlock new investment avenues in digital assets.

Current regulations prohibit spot crypto ETF trading in South Korea, but the policy has emerged as a key campaign issue. Lee’s pledge signals growing political recognition of cryptocurrency’s role in modern finance.
