South Korea has announced that nearly 6,000 government officials must disclose their cryptocurrency holdings starting January 1, 2024.

The South Korean Ministry of Personnel Management has<a href="https://www.mpm.go.kr/mpm/comm/newsPress/newsPressRelease/?boardId=bbs_0000000000000029&amp;mode=view&amp;cntId=3786&amp;category=&amp;pageIdx=" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> revealed plans to integrate</a> the disclosure of virtual assets into the existing Public Ethics Transparency System. This integration is set to provide a comprehensive and accessible overview of financial holdings, including cryptocurrencies, for about 5,800 public officials. The move aims to facilitate easier access to asset disclosure information, which previously required sifting through various bulletins and publications.
The updated system promises a more streamlined and user-friendly approach, allowing for a unified view of the asset registration details across different public institutions. This enhancement is part of a broader push to meet the growing demand for transparency and the public’s right to information about the financial activities of government officials.
