26th Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum – Digital Assets and the Future of Money

Mr. Ji Kim provided background information on his professional journey, mentioning his previous role as a corporate bankruptcy and restructuring attorney. He explained that his entry into the field of law was driven by a desire to apply his legal skills to help distressed companies improve their financial health. This same motivation led him to explore the world of cryptocurrencies, believing that they have the potential to transform and enhance legacy financial systems and payment infrastructures.

Having worked for two global cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians, Mr. Kim discussed his current role at CCI (Crypto Council for Innovation), a global educational advocacy organization. He explained that CCI aims to represent its members and collaborate with regulators and policymakers globally to shape credible regulatory frameworks. The goal is to facilitate responsible growth and innovation within the crypto industry, with a focus on providing access to the traditional financial system for individuals who may not have had it before.
