As always this is great news, i believe in the steep development of this stock exchange. If South Korea does integrate ICOs into its legislation, then it will be the capital of cryptocurrency!

It seems to me that this country is still trying to control the crypt and therefore created this exchange as one of the factors of coin legalization. Perhaps it is a good step, but it is not too related to decentralization.

If this news about Seoul coin lunch is something to go by then it's a welcome development for the cryptocurrency world because South Korea is one of the world  largest crypto economies. Let us hope that South korea will implement this project to a successful completion. Thanks for the information.
Well, I think, governments seem to be attracted by electronic money, I hope within the next few decades, we can replace paper money into electronic money. Thus the trading system can be stable and can test for corruption + environmental protection

This is just the start of things to come. First south korea will launch an official coin, then japan, china, and the rest of the world will follow suit. Mass adoption is on the way everyone. This low dip is probably the last chance to get in on the action. Bitcoin boom will start soon and the other alts will follow

Seoul City will also apply blockchain technology to its administrative operations, using its own currency as a means of payment.
Seoul, South Korea is planning to launch its own encoding currency, S-Coin. According to the report, S-Coin will be used for government-funded social welfare activities.

Mayor Park Won-soon announced the plan in an interview with CoinDesk Korea last week. Mr Park also said the city would set up a fund for blockchain technology development and blockchain-related startups.

Park said, "Seoul is one of the world's leading cities for information and communication. In this fourth technological revolution, I think we should study new technologies like blockchain. "

Just as Estonia is adopting a blockchain in its administrative activities in the government, Park said that Seoul could also apply blockchain technology to its administration. For example, public transport in the city, or subsidized youth.

In addition, Park believes that S-Coin can be used as a payment method for city-sponsored welfare programs. For example, health care programs for people, or help students find a job.

Seoul was the first city in South Korea to introduce a roadmap for the development and application of blockchain technology. In November 2017, the city government contacted Samsung to plan a strategy for platform-based innovation.

wow, when bitcoin and altcoin can not be controlled by the state then by making a legitimate coin is the right solution. because by making legitimate coins the country can follow the increasingly sophisticated technological developments. maybe in the future people will transact using virtual money.


these centrally issued crap coins are going nowhere. global trustless decentralised crypto is the way to go.

But I recently read that the Korean government banned banks from doing any operations with crypto-currencies. This is very bad news...

This seoul coin is not a decentralized coin and is just a centralized coin that is using the blockchain to mantanain the network,it's nothing related to bitcoin and it doesn't show any recognition of South korea to Bitcoin.

As I see it, it would be a local currency, many cities have one. For example, in Liverpool they have Colu that is a local digital currency.

Is there anyone kind enough to give me a CoinDesk link about the article discussed by op?
I look for it but the result is nothing.


Check this link. This could be what you're looking for.

I think this is one of the breakthrough for cryptocurrency in Korea, knowing its negative stance before when bitcoin was at the heights of euphoric price. Korea is one of the countries that has pronounce its resistance against cryptocurrency. Having them to embrace cryptocurrency is a plus for bitcoin as well. We'll see how this will go.

First of all, this is a reprinted article. Don't overdo it by asking people to give you merit, which may be offensive.
Try to post some high-quality posts, and the chances of getting merit are higher.

lol, I can't see where he mentioned the term "merit", and it's also not a reprinted article, he mentioned that he got the info from coindesk, if I were the OP I would add a link to the article, but besides that he didn't do nothing wrong.

Venezuela launched their coin first , Russia is in discussion about their own cryptocurrency ,and now Seoul launching their city-coin . Probably it's not a bad idea , but I don't like the fact that it will be a fully centralized , while cryptocurrencies was created to bring decentralization and freedom to everyone .

This is good news for blockchain technology and cryptocurrency market. I think cryptocurrency is going to be popular day by day.
I think so, initially the state of venezuela sold ico and guaranteed by their reserves of oil. It is now Korea, and there is information that the United States will collect taxes on crypto operations, proving the crypto has been recognized and is about to spread.
