South Korea’s Crypto Revolution: Trump-Style Deregulation on the Horizon!

by

Move over, K-pop! South Korean presidential candidate Hong Joon-pyo is here to drop the hottest beat of 2023: deregulating crypto like it’s 2017 in the U.S. 🎤💥

Hong, who’s clearly been binge-watching Trump’s greatest hits, says he’ll roll back crypto rules faster than you can say “Make Blockchain Great Again.” His goal? To turn blockchain into South Korea’s next big export—right after kimchi and Samsung phones. 🇰🇷📱

At a policy event in Seoul, Hong declared, “I’m dismantling regulations like Trump dismantled decorum!” (Okay, he didn’t say that, but he might as well have.) His plan? To foster blockchain and virtual assets as a single industry. Because why settle for one when you can have both? 🤷‍♂️

Hong, who’s running in the People Power Party’s presidential primary, also unveiled 27 pledges focused on private-sector growth. Spoiler alert: AI, quantum tech, and superconductors are in. Bureaucratic red tape? Out. 🚀

What makes Hong stand out? He’s the only candidate bold enough to link deregulation and blockchain development with national economic strategy. Meanwhile, other candidates are still figuring out how to turn on their smartphones. 📱🤦‍♂️

South Korea’s National Pension Service, the world’s third-largest public pension fund, is already on board. With over $800 billion in assets, they’re reportedly using blockchain to improve transparency. Because nothing says “trust us” like a technology most people still don’t fully understand. 🤔

So, buckle up, South Korea! Hong Joon-pyo is here to take you on a wild ride through the world of deregulated crypto. Just don’t forget to hodl on tight! 🚀💎
