Media CoverageDecent Law Firm Unveils New Slogan and Logo, Embarking on a Customer-Centric Brand Transformation
Decent Law Firm announced on July 3 that it has launched a new slogan and logo as part of a comprehensive rebranding initiative. This transformation reflects the firm's commitment to strengthening its legal service framework for the digital era, building on three years of accumulated expertise and robust growth. New Slogan: “Where Your Answers Await, Decent” The newly unveiled slogan, “Where Your Answers Await, Decent,” encapsulates the firm’s philosophy of being the first legal partner that comes to mind when clients need support the most. In addition, Decent introduced a new brand message: “Different, Add, Knock.” This message highlights the firm’s approach of asking unique questions, delivering value beyond legal solutions, and persistently seeking answers—even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Enhanced Logo for Greater Trust and Professionalism The newly designed logo harmoniously integrates the English “DECENT” and the Korean name, emphasizing both professionalism and trust. The design has evolved from its previous sleek style to a more stable and traditional look, ensuring high readability and visibility across digital platforms. Leadership Comments on the Rebranding Managing Partner Hyunsoo Jin stated, “Since our founding, Decent has experienced explosive growth year after year. This rebranding marks a pivotal moment to refine our internal systems and elevate our external communications. We will continue to evolve as a flexible and trusted brand across diverse legal fields.” Managing Partner Pureun Hong added, “A brand ultimately embodies philosophy and attitude. Decent will further clarify its direction as a law firm that listens attentively to clients’ questions and strives to find answers together.” Expanding Global and Digital Legal Services Decent Law Firm has recently expanded its advisory scope to cover international matters in the United States, Japan, China, Singapore, the Philippines, and more—strengthening its global legal services for corporate overseas expansion, international contracts, and dispute resolution. Notably, the firm is building a distinct competitive edge by offering comprehensive and strategic legal counsel tailored to the rapidly evolving legal landscape of digital industries, including AI, ICT, blockchain and digital assets, content/media, and fintech.

Voice Phishing Scams Using Wallet Addresses: Rising Threats in the Crypto Space
Criminals are increasingly exploiting cryptocurrencies in voice phishing scams, coercing victims into directly transferring Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), and other digital assets. Unlike traditional bank transfer schemes, these scams lead victims to withdraw from crypto exchanges or transfer between wallets—making funds significantly harder to trace. In many cases, perpetrators contact victims under the guise of “debt recovery,” “investment refunds,” or “international remittance processing,” and then request crypto transfers. Once received, the assets are quickly dispersed through multiple transactions, complicating any attempts at tracking. In some instances, assets sent from domestic exchanges have been moved to overseas wallets within hours or disappeared through mixing services. (omitted) Hyunsoo Jin, Managing Attorney at Decent Law Firm, stated, “Crypto-based voice phishing scams are far more difficult to recover from compared to traditional account-based fraud. Rapid initial response and preservation of digital evidence are crucial. It’s important to secure transaction history, wallet addresses, exchange account data, and phone recordings to support both criminal complaints and civil recovery.” He added, “If the scammers’ wallets or exchanges can be identified, victims may request emergency freezes or pursue international cooperation through investigative agencies. Immediate legal consultation is essential for assessing the situation and pursuing both criminal and civil remedies in parallel.”

OTC Crypto and Stablecoin Trading Surge Following Trump’s Inauguration
OTC (over-the-counter) trading volume for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins saw a fivefold increase in Q1 2025 compared to the same period last year, following the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump. This dramatic growth is attributed to rising institutional interest as regulatory discussions surrounding stablecoins gain momentum in the United States. According to the Q1 2025 report by digital asset trading technology firm Finery Markets, OTC trading volume among 2 million institutional spot transactions analyzed between January and March surged by 141% year-over-year. Stablecoin-related trading activity grew by 158% during the same period. (omitted) Commenting on this trend, Hyunsoo Jin, Managing Attorney at Decent Law Firm, noted, “The sharp rise in stablecoin activity in OTC markets indicates that regulatory discourse is translating into actual institutional engagement. Stablecoins are emerging as a crucial bridge between traditional finance and digital assets, and their regulatory trajectory may significantly influence global capital flows.” He further emphasized, “For businesses, managing risks associated with potentially regulated asset classes is critical. Legal and operational preparedness is essential to ensure transparency in transaction structures and fund flows.”
