[South Korea's Board of Audit and Inspection Calls for Inclusion of Cryptocurrency in Pension Review Scope]
According to a report by Jinse Finance on April 13, South Korea's Board of Audit and Inspection released the 'Audit Report on the Operation and Management of the Elderly Welfare System,' which urged the Minister of Health and Welfare to amend relevant regulations to include digital assets in the property calculation scope for basic pension reviews.
The Board of Audit and Inspection pointed out that digital assets possess clear economic value, but the current Basic Pension Act does not include digital assets in the defined property scope. This omission could result in individuals holding significant amounts of digital assets still qualifying as recipients of the basic pension.
The Board of Audit and Inspection believes that digital assets should be regarded as property with clear economic value, even if their form differs from traditional financial assets, as the intrinsic value of the property remains the same. The Ministry of Health and Welfare agreed, emphasizing the need to prevent relatively high-income individuals within the bottom 70% of non-income earners from receiving the basic pension. They concurred that digital assets should be included in the property calculation scope.
