South Korea enacts law to disclose cryptocurrency holdings of public officials

South Korea enacts law to disclose cryptocurrency holdings of public officials

South Korea plans to enact new legislation that would require about 5,800 senior government officials to disclose their holdings of cryptocurrency and other assets. This new trend has emerged in the wake of several legislative initiatives aimed at increasing openness and minimizing concerns about conflicts of interest in the public sector.

The government announced through the Ministry of Human Resources that it will include Bitcoin holdings in the annual asset statements required from elected politicians and high-ranking public officials. The comprehensive portal created for the registration and evaluation of property declarations made by public officials is a component of the government’s larger “Public Ethics and Transparency Initiative”, which includes this directive as one of its components.

The ‘Kim Nam-guk Prevention Act’ was passed overwhelmingly in the National Assembly and was named after a controversy involving a former Democratic Party politician. This bill demonstrates the country’s will to maintain ethical standards in the public service sector by amending both the National Assembly Act and the Public Official Ethics Act. Suspicions were raised against Kim Nam-guk that he holds significant cryptocurrency assets, raising concerns about a potential conflict of interest. These claims became the driving force behind the action.

Major domestic cryptocurrency exchanges, especially Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax, plan to build their own information systems by June 2024. These legal changes are occurring simultaneously with the development of these exchanges. Such a system is expected to be used in the property registration process and will provide a way to monitor and report cryptocurrency holdings by public entities.

The Korean government is working to build a more comprehensive regulatory system for cryptocurrencies, and this law is part of that system. In early June, South Korean lawmakers enacted 19 bills related to cryptocurrency. The bill grants the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and the Bank of Korea the authority to exercise supervisory duties over cryptocurrency operators and individuals owning assets. In addition, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced new accounting regulations that will require domestic companies to report their cryptocurrency holdings starting next year. This is a further step towards regulating and standardizing activities related to cryptocurrencies in the country.

There has been significant change in digital asset governance as a result of South Korea’s bold move to integrate cryptocurrency disclosure into its public service ethics framework. By implementing a mandate requiring government officials to disclose their cryptocurrency holdings, the country is establishing a model that other governments can follow to address the challenges and ethical issues associated with the rapidly expanding cryptocurrency sector.
