<p>At the &#39;Beyond Coin: Brace for Digital Asset Super Cycle&#39; conference held in Seoul on April 30, Lee Hae-bung, Head of Investor Protection Center at Upbit, said that it is significantly important for virtual asset service providers (VASP) to fulfill their responsibilities at a time when the government authority is laying the groundwork for crypto regulations, <a href="https://www.techm.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno&#61;123907" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according to</a> local media TECH M. Upbit is one of the few licensed cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea. The conference was jointly organized by SEUM Law Firm and local media outlet TECH M.</p><p>During his speech at the conference, Lee stated that by adhering to industrial rules and meeting obligations, VASPs can protect not only crypto investors but also themselves. This is how the crypto industry can enhance the value of blockchain and build trust surrounding the cutting-edge technology, he asserted.</p><h3 id="strong-shifting-paradigm-strong"><strong>Shifting paradigm</strong></h3><p>Lee said everything created based on blockchain and ledger technology is now deemed assets and property in the modern world, warranting new regulations. This marks a contrasting shift from the past when only fiat currencies were considered assets and mediums of storage.</p><p>In the following sessions, he delivered presentations about cryptocurrency regulations in various countries such as the U.S., Singapore, Hong Kong and several EU member states. During his speech, four moral pillars – legal clarity, responsible innovation, accountability and resilience – were particularly highlighted as ethical requirements for VASPs.</p><h3 id="ten-minus-one-equals-zero">Ten minus one equals zero</h3><p>Lee noted that Korea&#39;s crypto industry is currently going through transitional phases, during which the nationwide crypto craze disrupted the market and turned many good-willed investors into victims. The recent Bitcoin rally has lured many young Korean investors in their 20s and 30s to the crypto market, many of whom engaged in reckless investments with borrowed money.</p><p>The industry is now at a point where regulations are being laid out for investor protection, however, heading into a sustainable and healthy direction, he added.</p><p>&#34;Ten minus one equals zero when it comes to regulating the crypto industry,&#34; Lee said, underscoring the significance of completing all the tasks related to establishing regulation in the local crypto space.</p><p>“Transparency and accountability are the two most <a href="https://www.fintechtoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno&#61;823" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">important values</a> VASPs must safeguard on their journey to building trust. If VASPs fulfill these obligations, they should be able to gain the trust of users. Otherwise, they must bear liability for the consequences,” he added, citing the European Union’s Market in Crypto Asset (MiCA) Regulation as a model example that values transparency and accountability. The MiCA Regulation is currently being discussed by legislators from EU member states.</p>
