Tom Lee: "Korea-style Tokenization Regulation Won't Become the Global Standard"

• Tom Lee spoke at the institutional session of "Ethereum Korea One: Genesis," held September 28 at the Conrad Seoul hotel in Yeouido, Seoul.
• Asked about differences between South Korea's and the United States' approaches to tokenization regulation, Lee said he "can understand Korea's approach."
• Lee noted that public policy must balance multiple interests, including sovereignty, taxation, and protection of domestic companies, but said a uniform global standard for tokenization rules is unlikely to emerge.
