Bridging Worlds: Traditional Finance Meets the Digital Economy
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
As blockchain innovation reshapes the global financial system, Korea stands at a pivotal moment to lead the convergence of traditional finance and the digital asset economy. This seminar will explore how technologies such as stablecoins, tokenized assets, and next-generation payment systems are transforming capital flows, regulatory models, and cross-border investment. With a focus on macroeconomic trends and the evolving role of central banks and the private sector, experts will discuss how Korea can harness blockchain to attract foreign direct investment (FDI), modernize its financial infrastructure, and solidify its role as a hub for digital finance.
