South Korea advances blockchain plans as AI moves to center stage

The government plans to enact a Digital Asset Basic Act and advance a CBDC effort tied to tokenization of government bonds.

South Korea outlined continued support for a blockchain-based economy as policymakers increasingly focus on artificial intelligence, according to The Block.

The plans include enactment of a Digital Asset Basic Act, aimed at shaping the country’s approach to digital assets.

South Korea also said it is advancing a CBDC project that links to the tokenization of government bonds, reflecting a move to integrate blockchain with parts of the public finance system.

The Block said the overall push is being positioned alongside AI priorities rather than treated as a standalone technology initiative.
