Circle CSO Dante Disparte speaks during a media briefing at Josun Palace hotel in Seoul, Thursday.
Korea Times photo by Lee Yeon-woo Korea’s advanced banking and payments infrastructure may be masking the urgency around digital assets, even as the technology is rapidly emerging as a matter of national interest and broader national security worldwide, a Circle executive said Thursday.
While the country can afford to take a cautious approach to regulation, it should not move so slowly that it falls behind in digital asset adoption, he said.
Circle is the issuer of USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.
"The urgency, I believe, isn't widely understood nor shared (in Korea)," Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte said at a media briefing in Seoul.
