Lee Woong-yeol, the honorary chairman of the Korean conglomerate Kolon, is pairing up with Binance to generate a new virtual asset trading platform in South Korea. Binance recently procured the Gopax exchange in South Korea. However, the nation’s authorities are scrutinizing the acquisition.
As reported on February 28th by Chosun Biz, Lee and his team have founded a partnership with Binance to initiate a crypto trading platform within the country aimed to be supported by local authorities and financial regulators.
Furthermore, several blockchain-linked firms from the digital coin issuance and logistics area have united with Lee to encourage the development of the new exchange. Lee has in recent years, gained recognition in both South Korea and abroad in the fields of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
Notably, in a letter sent to staff at the time of his retirement, he acknowledged the significance of blockchain technology and declared his decision to retire was based on his long-term plans.
If Lee’s cryptocurrency exchange is authorized, it could dramatically alter the Korean cryptocurrency exchange field. Upbit is the current market leader, controlling 88% of the market, but Lee’s exchange could become a powerful contender.
Binance and Lee’s collaboration to form a new digital currency exchange in South Korea may bring more options to customers and stimulate progress in the sphere. Even so, the agreement’s effects on government regulations are yet to be determined, and it is uncertain if the new platform will be allowed to operate.
