Lee Jae-Myung will accept BTC and ETH as campaign contribution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to The Korea Times\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, South Korean politician Lee Jae-Myung, who formally became the progressive Democratic Party's presidential contender in October, will accept Bitcoin<\/a> and Ethereum<\/a>, as well as three other cryptocurrencies to be determined by his election committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, Lee's cryptocurrency-savvy followers will be able to contribute to the campaign. According to the report, all contributed bitcoin would be converted to cash through a local exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Jae-Myung is the world\u2019s first presidential candidate to issue NFT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Non-fungible tokens are included in the maverick politician's cryptocurrency fundraising scheme. Donors to Lee's campaign will receive an NFT receipt that includes a photo of the candidate and a list of his campaign promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the former governor of Gyunggi province has become the first presidential contender to issue NFTs<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Lee Jae-Myung's cryptocurrency campaign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lee is attempting to win younger voters with his cryptocurrency campaign. According to a November survey, 40.5 percent of respondents between the ages of 20 and 40 claimed they have invested<\/a> in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a lecture at Seoul National University last month, he stated that he wants South Korea to take the lead in the global bitcoin scene, calling cryptocurrency an “undeniable reality.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee also advocated for deferring cryptocurrency taxation<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> until next year, while also vowing to expand deduction limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the most recent pre-election poll, Lee holds a 4.6 percent advantage over Yoon Suk-Yeol, the conservative People Power Party's nominee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 9, 2022, the presidential election will take place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
