#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy Here’s your #SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy

South Korea has built a robust crypto legal framework: in July 2024, the Virtual Asset User Protection Act introduced customer‑asset segregation, AML/KYC rules, cold storage mandates (80% of deposits), and penalties for unfair trading . A 20% capital gains tax was planned for Jan 2025 but has been postponed to 2027 amid backlash . From Q1–Q3 2025, institutional and corporate investors will gain access via phased guidelines, including spot ETF approval and a possible end to the “one‑exchange–one‑bank rule” . Meanwhile, fresh legislation will roll out in H2 2025 to enhance transparency, stablecoin oversight, and exchange accountability .
