Both traditional and crypto investors in South Korea have responded enthusiastically to the new administration.
According to a survey by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry cited by multiple local outlets, almost 60% of respondents said they plan to expand their crypto holdings under Lee’s tenure.
