A forecast suggests that South Korea's virtual asset (cryptocurrency) industry competitiveness will continue to rise.
On the 20th (local time), Ryan Kim, co-founder of Hashed, participated in a fireside chat at 'Consensus Hong Kong 2025' held at the Hong Kong Convention Centre (HKCEC) and emphasized, "Investors and market participants operating in Korea are very smart. There are highly skilled crypto-native experts working in the industry, and they are preparing to advance towards a larger market."
However, he also advised that global expansion should be pursued in consideration of the current Korean regulatory environment.
