South Korea centralizes cryptocurrency policy under Presidential oversight, with an institutional rollout planned by 2025.
The shift aims to stabilize markets and broaden participation in crypto trading through regulatory clarity.
South Korea Forms Digital Asset Committee Under President
The Democratic Party of Korea has launched a Digital Asset Committee, centralizing crypto policy under the President’s Office. The Financial Services Commission is leading guideline development for institutional crypto trading.
The DPK and FSC previously restricted crypto access. Now, these organizations prioritize institutional engagement, marking a policy shift towards regulated market participation.
Regulatory Clarity Aims to Boost Market Stability
The centralized policy aims to provide regulatory clarity, enabling institutional engagement and potentially stabilizing markets. This move could increase investment confidence and liquidity in digital asset markets.
Politically, it suggests South Korea’s commitment to becoming a global crypto hub. Financially, regulated environments could attract both domestic and foreign investments.
Korean Crypto Booms Influence Policy Shift in 2025
Past Korean crypto booms in 2017 and 2021 led to tighter regulations. The new policy mirrors other global regulatory efforts, anticipating similar market stabilization and growth.
Historical precedent suggests that increased institutional participation stabilizes markets, as seen in the US post-Bitcoin ETF approval. South Korea expects similar benefits by 2025.
South Korea’s shift is anticipated to stabilize large-volume market activity and might mirror positive effects seen in international markets.
