The Democratic Party in South Korea is signaling a shift towards embracing the growing virtual asset market. According to a Yonhap Infomax report, the party recently held an expert seminar focused on establishing a robust system and legal framework for virtual assets. At the 'National Strategy for a Digital Finance Superpower' seminar, Democratic Party Supreme Council member Lee Un-ju emphasized the need to proactively engage with the virtual asset market's growth. "We need to get on board when the virtual asset market has a growth curve," she stated. This signals a potential move towards creating a more regulated and structured environment for cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets within South Korea, aiming to harness their potential while mitigating risks. The party aims to actively prepare the institutional legislative framework necessary for the market to operate effectively within the established financial system. This move could potentially unlock significant opportunities for South Korea in the burgeoning digital finance landscape. ```
