The Korea Digital Asset Valuation Certification (KDAVC) has officially launched a multidisciplinary Expert Committee aimed at reinforcing regulatory discourse, enhancing market transparency, and protecting investors within the rapidly expanding digital asset ecosystem.
Recognizing the accelerating pace of crypto adoption both globally and domestically, KDAVC has appointed key figures from legal, financial, policy, and tech sectors to form the committee. These experts are expected to advise government bodies and lawmakers on policy directions, while also conducting market analysis and crafting investor protection strategies.
