This year’s election campaign in South Korea was somewhat different from what we have been used to so far. In the country where the crypto industry had just taken off, NFTs now also played a role in the election campaign. This year’s election winner, and thus the country’s new president, sold 4000 NFTs specially made for the election campaign. These campaign NFTs, with the candidate’s portrait, could be purchased in advance.
Korea expert Ramon Pacheco Pardo attributes the sudden enthusiasm for cryptocurrency in the election campaign to the great interest of South Koreans in cryptocurrencies, as he told BTC-Echo. So the topic of crypto is now also becoming more present in politics.
