#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy South Korea is stepping up as a serious player in the global crypto game. With the Virtual Asset User Protection Act taking effect, the government is tightening rules on exchanges, mandating real-name accounts, cold wallet storage, and insurance coverage to guard user funds. But it’s not just about restriction—2025 will see pilot programs for institutional crypto accounts and regulated cross-border asset flows. The aim? Curb fraud, build trust, and lay the foundation for mass adoption. As the world watches, South Korea could become a blueprint for balancing innovation with investor protection.
