Understanding the Difference Between CBDCs and Virtual Assets in South Koreas Legal Framework

On April 24th, it was reported that the definition of virtual assets in the virtual asset related laws currently being discussed in the South Korean parliament does not include provisions on CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency). The government has always been skeptical about the need to distinguish between CBDCs and virtual assets, but the Bank of Korea actively insists that issuing CBDCs is necessary. It plans to grant CBDCs the status of legal tender to prevent uncertainty caused by confusion with virtual assets. The Political Affairs Committee of the South Korean National Assembly has revealed that they are currently promoting the exclusion of CBDC and its related services from the regulation of the Virtual Assets Act. This was proposed by Kim Han kyu, a member of the National Democratic Party and a member of the government council, with the aim of clearly distinguishing between CBDC and the virtual asset market and preventing policy chaos. The Financial Committee expressed opposition to the proposal on March 28th, but the media stated that the Committee may change its stance on April 25th. (Economic Pioneer)
