#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy

South Korea has emerged as a key player in the global crypto market, with a regulatory framework that balances innovation and investor protection. The government mandates strict **KYC/AML compliance**, bans anonymous trading, and requires exchanges to partner with banks for real-name accounts. While **ICOs** remain restricted, the country is exploring **CBDCs** and blockchain adoption in public services. Recent proposals aim to **tax crypto gains** (20% above 2.5 million KRW) and classify digital assets under a new legal framework. Despite regulatory hurdles, South Korea’s tech-savvy population and institutional interest keep it a **top crypto hub** in Asia. #SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy
