#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy

South Korea’s crypto landscape is transforming under President Lee Jae-myung’s pro-digital asset agenda, including plans for a "won-backed stablecoin" to curb capital flight and "spot crypto ETFs" for institutional investors. New FSC regulations now allow nonprofits to liquidate crypto donations (with strict AML/KYC rules) and restrict exchanges to top-20 assets by market cap to curb volatility. With 18M+ crypto users and trading volumes rivaling stock markets, bipartisan support ensures growth—whether through Lee’s pension fund crypto investments or tighter Travel Rule enforcement (KRW 1M threshold). A regulated yet bullish future awaits.
