#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy South Korea is steadily rolling out its new crypto regulatory framework, balancing innovation with investor protection. Starting June, non-profits—such as charities and universities—can legally accept and liquidate crypto donations under strict audit, governance, and immediate-conversion rules .

In the second half of 2025, the Financial Services Commission will allow listed companies and professional investors to open real‑name accounts on exchanges, lifting the long‑standing institutional ban .
