#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy **South Korea’s New President & Crypto: Regulation Over Revolution**
South Korea’s new president, Lee Jae-myung, hasn’t shouted about crypto—but his policies could reshape the market. While he didn’t mention digital assets in his inauguration speech, his administration is pushing major reforms:
- **Spot Crypto ETFs & Institutional Adoption** – The National Pension Fund may soon access crypto, a game-changer for liquidity.
- **Stablecoin Shift** – A **won-backed stablecoin** is in the works, ditching algorithmic risks (remember Terra?) for fiat-backed stability.
- **DABA Law** – The **Digital Asset Basic Act** will bring clear exchange rules, stablecoin approvals, and self-regulation.
Lee’s vision? **"K-Fi" (Korean Finance)**—regulated, centralized, and integrated with traditional finance. No wild speculation, just structured growth.
But challenges remain—Lee’s past scandals (real estate, North Korea ties, even an assassination attempt) loom, and strict rules could stifle DeFi.
Bottom line: **South Korea is going all-in on crypto—just not the way crypto maximalists hoped.** Expect institutional adoption, not moonshots. Watch closely.
