Investment guidelines for public companies and professional investors are expected to be published in the third quarter, while the FSC aims to release guidelines for non-profit organizations and crypto exchanges earlier, targeting April.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"541\" data-end=\"822\">In January, the FSC revealed its plans to gradually lift the de facto ban preventing institutional investors from investing in cryptocurrencies. Last month, the regulator announced that it plans to allow charities and universities to sell their crypto assets in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"1023\">The release of these detailed guidelines marks a significant shift in <strong>South Korea\u2019s stance on crypto<\/strong>, moving away from its strict opposition to cryptocurrency assets in traditional financial markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1025\" data-end=\"1353\">Institutional participation could accelerate growth and significantly boost liquidity in South Korea&#8217;s crypto market, one of the largest and altcoin-heavy retail crypto markets in the world. By the end of November 2024, around 15.6 million people were trading crypto in South Korea, which is approximately 30% of the population.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1355\" data-end=\"1426\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FSC_Vice_Chairman_Rapid_Steps_Being_Taken_to_Support_Crypto_Market\"><\/span>FSC Vice Chairman: Rapid Steps Being Taken to Support Crypto Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1657\">At the meeting, <strong data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1478\">FSC Vice Chairman Kim So-young<\/strong> stated that South Korea is taking rapid steps to support its crypto market and acknowledged that the Donald Trump administration accelerated global discussions on cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1840\">Kim emphasized that the upcoming guidelines should set <strong data-start=\"1714\" data-end=\"1734\">&#8220;best practices&#8221;<\/strong> for institutional crypto investments and include standards for crypto trading, disclosure, and reporting.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1842\" data-end=\"2165\">The FSC official also encouraged local banks and crypto exchanges to enhance their <strong data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"1950\">anti-money laundering<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1955\" data-end=\"1972\">cybersecurity<\/strong> measures to prevent potential illegal activities and cyberattacks. According to local regulations, crypto exchange users are required to verify their accounts with <strong data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2164\">real-name bank accounts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2167\" data-end=\"2358\">Local media reported last year that the FSC was reviewing its ban on local spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) listings, but this topic was not mentioned in the latest FSC release.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2360\" data-end=\"2602\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Meanwhile, the FSC has started developing the second part of its crypto regulatory framework, which was introduced last year. The second part of the crypto law is expected to focus on <strong data-start=\"2544\" data-end=\"2559\">stablecoins<\/strong> and regulating <strong data-start=\"2575\" data-end=\"2601\">crypto business owners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p data-start=\"2286\" data-end=\"2522\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><em>You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
