South Korea Crypto Policy
As of June 2025, South Korea has activated a more robust crypto regulation through the FSC Commission:
Strengthening KYC/AML procedures for users and organizations.
NGOs must have 5 years of auditing and establish specific committees before handling donations in crypto.
Only donations in tokens with presence on at least three major national exchanges are accepted.
Exchanges can liquidate crypto only to cover operational costs, with a daily cap.
The minimum liquidity listing for tokens is raised, excluding assets with low activity (“zombie”) or memecoins.
This package is part of the opening to institutional investors from Q3 2025, including the legalization of spot ETFs and tokenization of securities.
