Korea’s new president, Lee Jae-Myung, has appointed CEO of Hashed Research, Kim Yong-Beom, to be the largest political officer for Korea’s presidential office.
A very sad day at @Hashed_Official. The new president just stole the CEO of our proud think tank, the HEHED Open Research.
He is now Chief Presidential Secretary for Policy –
A position at ministerial level and undoubtedly the most crypto-native and web3-friendly official in Korean … pic.twitter.com/vs2oucjgra– Simon Kim (@simonkim_nft) June 6, 2025
Before Crypto Fund Hashed’s Think Tank led Hashed, Kim, Deputy Minister of Economics and Economy was under the Moon Jae-in administration.
In a previous interview with Coindesk, Simon Kim, CEO of Hashed, declared that the LEE administration will be cryptenly and that local regulators closely monitor the development of cryptopolitics in the United States for the purpose of emulating them.
One of the first political initiatives that Kim Yong-Beom may be working on is a water-based stableecoin identified by newly elected President Lee as a priority to “prevent national wealth from leaking abroad.”
