The lunchtime briefing covered topics from the legal definition of cryptocurrency, the legal status of cryptocurrency exchanges, how an initial coin offering (ICO) could legally be held in Korea, as well as tax and other related issues. At the end, Mr. Ahn provided an overview of likely future Korean legislation to regulate the cryptocurrency space.
