A report indicates that during the second quarter of the year, the two parties intend to travel to prominent advanced financial centers, such as New York, to deliberate on various topics about the <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/impact-of-crypto-on-traditional-financial-markets.html\">financial markets<\/a> in South Korea. Among these topics will be spot Bitcoin ETFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FSS chief disclosed that he intends to meet with SEC Chair Gary Gensler later in 2024 to discuss digital assets and identify Bitcoin ETFs, among other things. Furthermore, he stated that the recent SEC approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs significantly affected global financial policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lee's announcement arrived several weeks after the SEC approved the initial Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. On January 10, the SEC authorized eleven spot BTC ETFs in a momentous ruling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, the SEC denied applications for spot BTC ETFs, citing the vulnerability of the cryptocurrency market to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Market_manipulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">market manipulation <span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><g id=\"wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\" fill=\"none\" clip-path=\"url(#clip0_31_188)\">\r\n                            <path d=\"M9.16724 14.8891L20.1672 3.88908\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M13.4497 3.53554L20.5208 3.53554L20.5208 10.6066\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M17.5 13.5L17.5 16.26C17.5 17.4179 17.5 17.9968 17.2675 18.4359C17.0799 18.7902 16.7902 19.0799 16.4359 19.2675C15.9968 19.5 15.4179 19.5 14.26 19.5L7.74 19.5C6.58213 19.5 6.0032 19.5 5.56414 19.2675C5.20983 19.0799 4.92007 18.7902 4.73247 18.4359C4.5 17.9968 4.5 17.4179 4.5 16.26L4.5 9.74C4.5 8.58213 4.5 8.0032 4.73247 7.56414C4.92007 7.20983 5.20982 6.92007 5.56414 6.73247C6.0032 6.5 6.58213 6.5 7.74 6.5L11 6.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                        <defs>\r\n                            <clipPath id=\"clip0_31_188\">\r\n                                <rect fill=\"white\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\"\/>\r\n                            <\/clipPath>\r\n                        <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>due to its small scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the SEC's approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the Korean securities regulator warned domestic firms against brokering U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs.
