#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy

South Korea is undergoing a sweeping crypto policy overhaul. From June 1, stricter rules take effect under the Financial Services Commission (FSC), expanding “real-name” compliance, tighter KYC processes for nonprofits and exchanges, and mandatory liquidation of crypto donations via verified KRW accounts . Meanwhile, institutional participation is being facilitated with plans to allow pension funds, spot Bitcoin ETFs, and won‑pegged stablecoins later in 2025, backed by President Lee Jae‑myung’s agenda . Legislative momentum continues with Security Token Offering (STO) laws advancing, signaling South Korea’s move toward global crypto standards .
