2020 GDLN Distance Learning Seminar Series
The 5th Video Conference of the Series, "Korea’s Regulatory Issues of Cryptocurrency" was held on June 11th (Thu) 16:00 ~ 17:30 (Seoul Time)
Speaker- Ki Hoon Hong, Professor, Hongik University
With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution we are witnessing unprecedented technological advancements, changing the way we conduct our daily lives. Whereas technologies once offered exciting new opportunities for delivering services to the public, it has now become a necessity and even an expected facet of government operations and public governance. As these innovations continue to become an integral part of our lives, governments and related agencies need to understand how to redefine and identify their roles within this changing landscape.
It is against this background that we need to address how public policies must change to create a legal and regulatory framework that still manages to take advantage of the technological milestones we are experiencing, while also protecting societies from the disruptive nature these innovations can also introduce. KDI School's GDLN Blended Learning Program for 2020 will focus on Public Sector Innovations for Sustainable Development. We initiated our GDLN community to join us for a timely discussion on how Korea has been applying and adjusting to the rapid changes in technology. Topics covered will include an overview of Korea's science and innovation policies, the applications of ICT within the public sector, and the impact of disruptive technologies and other innovations on governments, businesses and citizens.
Learning Objective - The virtual currency is Electronically Exchanged Currency, which uses online payment methods but is still based on real currency controlled by the central bank. The significance of virtual currency is that it maximizes efficiency by reducing economic and social costs arising from the existing monetary system. But virtual currency is unstable at the moment due to changes in value and security issues as well as the lack of monetary policy to control it. The purpose of this presentation is not only to explain the conceptual explanation of Cryptocurrency, but also to explain the current legal and policy landscape in South Korea and discuss what direction other countries can take concerning the regulatory framework of the virtual currency.
