Ethereum Foundation and Optimism Discuss Digital Asset Policies

On the 21st, policy representatives from the Ethereum Foundation and Optimism discussed the direction of digital asset policies with domestic financial and policy stakeholders in Seoul. The meeting was held as a preliminary discussion ahead of the Ethereum flagship conference scheduled for September. The event, hosted by the Ethereum Korea Consortium (EKC), featured attendees such as Adrian Lee, Global Policy Strategist at the Ethereum Foundation, and Kyle Jentzsch, Chief Business Officer of Optimism. EKC lead Kang Yu-bin described Ethereum as a neutral digital public infrastructure and presented based on the Ethereum Foundation's policy guide, "Ethereum Basics for Governments and Institutions." In the second session, Curtis Oh introduced case studies of enterprise-customized blockchain implementations by Optimism. Projects in collaboration with Optimism, including those by Viva Republica and DB Securities, were mentioned in South Korea. The meeting also addressed the institutionalization of token securities and discussions on the Digital Asset Basic Law. Kang Yu-bin emphasized that this gathering was not about promoting specific coins but rather aimed at helping policies and institutions assess the potential and risks of digital infrastructure. EKC is set to launch with the support of the Ethereum Foundation in 2026.
