#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy South Korea’s Financial Services Commission is cracking down and evolving fast. Starting H2 2025, charities and universities can sell crypto donations, followed by corporate and institutional access via real‑name accounts—around 3,500 firms in the pilot phase. These changes mark a significant shift from the tight restrictions since 2017, aiming to boost blockchain growth while reinforcing AML and user‑protection frameworks under the Virtual Asset User Protection Act. Meanwhile, cross‑border crypto trades will also require registration and monthly reporting to the Bank of Korea. A bold move to ignite institutional confidence and global competitiveness.
