最新报道:South Korea's central bank, the Bank of Korea (BOK), has established a new Digital Currency Research Division to oversee cryptocurrency and CBDC developments. The department will focus on monitoring crypto markets, studying stablecoins, and advancing the country's digital won project. This restructuring comes as South Korea tightens crypto regulations ahead of new legislation taking effect in July 2024. The BOK emphasized the need for dedicated research amid growing crypto adoption and the potential risks to financial stability. The move aligns with global central banks increasing scrutiny of digital assets while developing their own CBDCs.
