Lee Jae-myung has plans to enable the state pension fund to invest in crypto, approve Bitcoin ETFs, and launch a Korean won-backed stablecoin.
South Korea’s opposition leader Lee Jae-myung has been sworn in as president following a decisive victory in a snap election, after promising a raft of pro-crypto policies during his campaign.
Lee claimed victory in the June 3 election held six months after the country’s previous leader, Yoon Suk-yeol, declared martial law and threw the nation into political chaos.
With 99% of the votes counted on June 4, the center-left Democratic Party’s Lee fetched over 49% of votes against the 41% won by rival conservative People Power Party candidate Kim Moon-soo, according to National Election Commission data.
