#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy

South Korea is accelerating its crypto-policy modernization in June 2025. New regulations, triggered by the Virtual Asset User Protection Act, impose stricter scrutiny on exchanges and non-profits—requiring five years of audited history, Donation Review Committees, and external audits for asset sales . Meanwhile, both presidential frontrunners back pro‑crypto reforms: proposing legalization of spot crypto ETFs, easing banking rules, and issuing won-backed stablecoins . The Financial Services Commission is preparing institutional investment guidelines by Q3 2025 to allow corporate and pension‑fund participation . These balanced measures aim to boost market integrity, deepen liquidity, and position South Korea as a more mature crypto market.
