Corporate Account Opening and Regulation: On February 13, 2025, South Korea held the third virtual assets committee meeting, planning to allow corporations to open real-name virtual asset accounts in phases. Initially, institutions such as law enforcement agencies that need to open accounts for 'cash conversion purposes' will be permitted to participate. In the second half of this year, professional investment corporations will be allowed to invest in virtual assets, with full participation of ordinary corporations being studied as a medium to long-term plan.

In addition, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung plans to promote the legalization of virtual asset spot ETFs, guide the allocation of cryptocurrency assets by the national pension fund, establish a stablecoin system anchored to the Korean won, and advocates for 'regulation before taxation', postponing the originally scheduled 2025 implementation of capital gains tax on virtual asset transfers to 2027.
