South Korea’s Crypto Shift: Regulation Meets Reform
New President Lee Jae-myung is pushing South Korea into a new crypto era — from ETFs to pension fund access and a possible won-backed stablecoin.
What’s Changing?
• New Digital Asset Basic Act coming in 2025
• Legal push for crypto self-regulation
• Support for spot ETFs and institutional access
• Stablecoin plan backed by fiat, not algorithms
But it’s not all bullish — legal battles from past scandals shadow Lee’s presidency. Still, bipartisan support and market optimism suggest Korea is serious about becoming a global crypto hub.
Investors are watching. Regulation is coming.
South Korea may soon set the standard for mainstream adoption in Asia.
