South Korean financial officials met representatives from the Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) Foundation and Optimism (CRYPTO:OP) in Seoul to discuss blockchain policy and the country's digital asset strategy.

"We welcome continued dialogue between policymakers and the blockchain industry," a representative at the meeting said.

Officials and industry representatives discussed blockchain infrastructure, digital asset regulation and the role of public blockchain networks in the country's financial system.

The discussions are expected to continue as South Korea develops its digital asset framework, while no share price reaction was available because the announcement did not involve a publicly listed company.
