South Korea’s National Pension Service (NPS) manages assets worth 1,224 trillion won, equivalent to $836 billion. The NPS is exploring the potential of blockchain technology to enhance the transparency and security of its fund transactions. The organization plans to use blockchain’s shared ledger to prevent tampering with fund records, a vital step in ensuring the retirement security of millions. Before fully implementing blockchain, the NPS will conduct a preliminary disclosure process. This will involve gathering input from blockchain experts and companies. Following this, a research study will assess the feasibility of integrating blockchain into the pension fund’s accounting system. Although the NPS is not considering direct investments in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, it has indirect exposure through investments in Strategy and Coinbase shares.
