#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy

In 2025, South Korea has made a significant shift in its crypto policy with the election of Lee Jae-myung as president. His administration has promoted the legalization of cryptocurrency ETFs, the creation of a stablecoin backed by the won, and the easing of regulations for exchanges.

The government has established a Presidential Committee on Digital Assets, with experts from the private and public sectors, to oversee the evolution of the market. Additionally, the Basic Law on Digital Assets (DABA) is in the process of being approved, with measures to regulate stablecoins and allow institutional investment in cryptocurrencies.

One of the most relevant changes is the elimination of the "one exchange, one bank" rule, which will allow for greater competition and access to crypto financial services. Trading fees have also been reduced, and incentives for the adoption of digital assets have been implemented.

With over 18 million citizens involved in cryptocurrencies, South Korea aims to establish itself as a global hub for digital assets. Lee's administration has promised a safe and transparent environment for investors, ensuring that the country does not lose competitiveness on the international stage.
