Confusion In Korea: Ministry Of Finance Refuses To Support Cryptocurrency Trading Ban

"In a press conference, the South Korean Ministry of Strategy and Finance told local reporters that it had first heard of the Ministry of Justice’s cryptocurrency trading ban through media reports. The cryptocurrency task force participated by the central bank, MInistry of Finance, Ministry of Justice, and other agencies have not agreed upon the proposal.

“We do not share the same views as the Ministry of Justice on a potential cryptocurrency exchange ban,” MSF said according to the local Naver website."
==================================================================

"Evidently, the cryptocurrency trading ban proposal has not been finalized or even agreed upon by the South Korea Ministry of Strategy and Finance.

Finally, CCN reporter Joseph Young reports that in an official announcement, "South Korean government reaffirms there will be NO TRADING BAN for #cryptocurrency market in the short term and NOTHING IS FINALIZED.""
==================================================================

"Furthermore, a petition to fire the head of the Ministry of Justice over the #cryptocurrency trading fiasco filed."
