NFT tokens are a relatively new offering in the cryptocurrency market – these unique assets enable rights to be sold to various digital objects. Earlier this month, people who donate money to Democratic presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung will receive NFT tokens linked to Mr. Lee’s photos and activities – these assets become a kind of bond that can later be sold or exchanged .
As the party stressed, the National Electoral Commission confirmed in December that NFT fundraising does not violate electoral laws – its implementation and fundraising are carried out in accordance with all norms. Former head of the Small and Medium Business Administration, Park Young-sun, who oversees the party’s digital business, pioneered the sale of the party’s digital assets. On January 1, she sold an NFT token for $ 2,500 in connection with her 2018 Facebook post speaking out against closing cryptocurrency exchanges.
