Blockchain’s Latest Big Money Backer
South Korea’s leading venture capital firm sees immense potential in blockchain. Korea Investment Partners (KIP), whose successful track record has seen them invest in “growing billion-dollar companies” in high-growth sectors like Naver, Korea’s most popular search engine, have made a significant investment in an ICO for TEMCO, a Korean company using smart contracts to offer supply chain management solutions.
TEMCO uses a public blockchain to offer secure tracking of products through all stages of the supply chain – an area where the company believes traditional supply chains fall short. Their product allows customers access to more data with greater frequency, transparency, and reliability than ever before, while reducing costs for businesses through increased efficiency.
Korea is measured as the third-largest exchange market in the world and has a long-held reputation for being forward-thinking regarding cryptocurrency- and blockchain-related businesses, with the South Korean government considering numerous pieces of crypto-oriented legislation.
Hong Seong-ki, the head of Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC), has been pushing hard for legislating “the most urgent and important things first…[like] money-laundering prevention…and investor protection” to oversee crypto exchanges more effectively.
While the government controversially declared in August that cryptocurrency exchanges “are not a target for the government to encourage as a venture enterprise”, thus denying the benefits that designation would entail, they added that they would “foster blockchain technology and related companies at the government level” and announced $4.4 billion in investments in various economic sectors, including blockchain. A July report from crypto news website Cointelegraph detailed potential new legislation to aid blockchain investment, with multiple government ministries reportedly developing a “classification scheme” for the blockchain industry in Korea.
KIP is leading the investment charge in blockchain from the private sector. The deal’s press release characterized TEMCO’s ICO as the first “to be funded by a major venture capital [firm],” going on to describe the company’s business model as “transcendent…[with reach] beyond niche blockchain applications.”
Whether TEMCO makes good on that promise remains to be seen, but Jong Hyun Kim, the Fintech Investment Board Member at KIP, has high hopes: “TEMCO is more than prepared to disrupt contemporary supply chain process,” said Kim. “Not only does TEMCO exceed existing business solutions, but also is a prime example of the potential of blockchain technology. Korea Investment Partners is proud to be a leading investment partner for TEMCO.”
The company’s $19 million ICO is scheduled for this month.
