#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy

South Korea is strengthening its cryptocurrency framework in 2025 with significant reforms. A new law due in the second half of the year will mandate registration and monthly reporting of cross‑border crypto transactions to the Bank of Korea, targeting money‑laundering risks . Additionally, institutional access is expanding: non‑profits, universities, listed companies, and professional investors will soon be allowed to trade and sell crypto—marking a major shift from the 2017 institutional ban . These measures boost transparency and align Korea with global standards.
