🚀 South Korea Prepares Institutional Crypto Investment Guidelines, Moving Towards Lifting Ban

South Korea is taking major steps to open up its cryptocurrency market to institutional investors. The government plans to issue official guidelines for financial and investment institutions to participate in the crypto market in the third quarter of 2025, gradually easing the previous ban.

⭐ A New Shift in Crypto Policy

🟢 Before the institutional investment guidelines are released, the government will issue separate regulations for universities and charities in April 2025, allowing them to legally sell and manage crypto assets. This is a major move that will pave the way for the legalization of cryptocurrency investment in South Korea.

🟢 In parallel with these regulations, the South Korean government is preparing a second legal framework focused on stablecoins and crypto businesses. This comes after the crypto investor protection law was implemented last year. The new legal framework will help to more closely monitor stablecoin projects, ensure financial stability, and protect investors from crypto-related risks.
