PANews reported on March 17th that, according to Asia Economy, in response to recent incidents of lost seized cryptocurrencies, the Korean National Police Agency has finalized amendments to its administrative rules regarding the "management of seized virtual assets," including for the first time specific guidelines for the management of "privacy coins." Because privacy coins such as Monero possess strong anonymity and are difficult to store in hardware wallets, the Korean police have clarified the management regulations for "software wallets (hot wallets)," requiring wallets to be generated on dedicated servers and their keys to be sealed.

South Korean police have seized approximately 54.5 billion won worth of crypto assets over the past five years, including 50.7 billion won worth of Bitcoin and 1.8 billion won worth of Ethereum. This move aims to learn from past incidents, such as the loss of 22 Bitcoins by the Gangnam Police Station and the theft of assets by the National Tax Service due to a leaked mnemonic phrase. Police also plan to select a private custodian institution in the first half of this year and are considering establishing a government-led "public custodian" system to address the increasingly complex regulatory needs of digital assets.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu Joins Gaming Veterans Behind Candy Crush And Fortnite In Web3 Climate Game

The post Hakan Çalhanoğlu Joins Gaming Veterans Behind Candy Crush And Fortnite In Web3 Climate Game appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. My Lovely Planet (MLP), a Web3 game developed by veterans behind some of the world’s most successful casual and social games and recognized by Google, has unveiled its latest initiative: a real-world forest in Turkey that grows with every in-game achievement. The launch coincides with a high-profile partnership with international football star Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who, alongside his wife Sinem, has taken an active role in the project. Together, they are spearheading the “Çalhanoğlu Forest,” a reforestation campaign designed to restore land destroyed by wildfires in Kuşadası, Aydın Province. Casual Gaming Meets Climate Tech Unlike traditional play-to-earn games that reward users with tokens or NFTs, My Lovely Planet positions itself as play-to-impact. Players don’t just collect points or coins – they plant trees. Each completed level funds real-world reforestation, with saplings tracked, planted, and monitored in collaboration with local environmental organizations. For Çalhanoğlu, captain of Turkey’s national football team, the project represents a personal mission. He has personally financed the first 10,000 trees – the equivalent of 50 soccer fields – as part of phase one of the reforestation effort. The trees, which include Turkish pine and oak, are being planted in fire-damaged areas to ensure both ecological resilience and long-term impact. “Football has given me so much, and now I want to give something back, not just to my country, but to the world,” Hakan said in a statement. “With My Lovely Planet, fans can have fun and directly join me in bringing impact while enjoying the game. Together, we can make gaming meaningful.” Through the #PlayForTurkey campaign, fans and gamers worldwide can contribute by simply downloading and playing the app. Each in-game action translates into trees planted in the Çalhanoğlu Forest.
