#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy South Korea has recently strengthened its regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, balancing innovation and security. Digital platforms must register with the FSC/FIU, adopt ISMS systems, use real-name bank accounts, and implement strict KYC/AML controls, including the Travel Rule for transfers >1 million KRW. From June 2025, regulations will come into effect allowing nonprofits and exchanges to sell crypto with daily limits and liquidity requirements. The new president Lee Jae-myung aims to legalize spot ETFs, allow institutional investments (including from pension funds), and launch a stablecoin in won. This regulatory evolution opens the market to institutional players and enhances user protection.
