ABSTRACT

Science and technology such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data have made a lot of information created in virtual space into currency through blockchain technology. Blockchain technology, which began with cryptocurrency, goes beyond simple commerce and can check the authenticity of personal medical information, agricultural and fishery products, and luxury products, from smart contracts where the other party's contents and special agreements can be specified in detail. Cryptocurrencies are expected to bring efficient management and innovation in financial services and public sectors. However, cryptocurrency fluctuates in price as an investment target, and rather than functioning as an actual transaction currency, it turns into a means of speculation or crime, and it is time for overall legislation, including protection and regulation. Therefore, this paper attempted to examine the process of the country's monetary and monetary policy as a starting point for cryptocurrency. Looking at the introduction of the Bretton Woods system, which is the beginning of the state's intervention in response to the economic situation based on invisible hands, and the recent subprime mortgage theory in the United States, the process of breaking away from the state's monopoly on money was described. Since then, we have looked at the U.S. and China to examine the differences in cryptocurrency activation and regulation by country. Along with the regulation of cryptocurrency in the U.S. and the SEC's approval of ETFs on Bitcoin, it examined that policy judgments on the permission and regulation of cryptocurrency are currently a major issue in the U.S. presidential election, while mining and trading of bitcoin are completely banned in China. We looked at the process of policy confusion related to cryptocurrency in Korea, the law on reporting and using specific financial transaction information, which is currently a law related to cryptocurrency, and the law on the protection of virtual asset users.
