#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy Phased opening to institutions – The Financial Services Commission (FSC) is rolling back its 2017 ban on corporate crypto trading in stages:

1H 2025: Charities, universities, law enforcement, and other non-profits can open real‑name accounts and sell crypto assets .

2H 2025: Public companies and professional investors (~3,500 entities) can open accounts to buy and sell via a pilot program .

This marks a major shift allowing widespread institutional participation—previously prohibited since 2017 due to speculation and AML concerns.
