South Korea is preparing to lift its ban on institutional cryptocurrency trading, signalling a significant shift in the country’s crypto market. The Financial Services Commission (FSC), South Korea’s top financial regulator, announced plans to collaborate with the Digital Asset Committee to phase in institutional trading, beginning with non-profits. Until now, only individual traders with verified accounts have been allowed to trade cryptocurrencies, as banks have been restricted from enabling institutional accounts.
The country is also eyeing broader modernisation of its digital asset landscape. Speaking at the Securities and Derivatives Market Opening Ceremony, Korea Exchange Chairman Jeong Eun-bo revealed plans to consider cryptocurrency spot ETFs by 2025, taking cues from global examples. He emphasised the exchange’s goal of expanding opportunities within the capital market.
Additionally, South Korea’s FSC is working on measures to enhance security in crypto investments. The introduction of the Virtual Asset Investor Protection Act last year demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding traders and enabling innovative tools like security token offerings.
