FSC Planning To Ease Restrictions

On Wednesday, Yonhap News Agency reported that FSC’s Secretary-General Kwon
Dae-young announced legal entities will be allowed to invest in
cryptocurrencies• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта starting this year. Kwon stated that the regulatory agency
plans to relax its restrictions on institutional crypto trading and investment
to “strengthen collaboration between financial institutions and fintechs.”

According to the report, the FSC is set to consider a proposal to allow the
issuance of real-name accounts to corporations, which is currently restricted.
Real-name accounts are required for virtual asset investments, as only the
accounts that have completed this verification under the Specified Financial
Transaction Information Act are allowed to invest in digital assets.

Nonetheless, financial authorities have limited institutional crypto trading
by guiding banks not to issue these accounts to corporations, despite the
absence of any legal barrier or official ban.

In the “Major Work Plan for 2025,” the FSC revealed this change would be
gradually implemented, with the financial regulator working on a “detailed
plan” to allow non-profit corporations first through its Virtual Asset
Committee, and slowly expand.

Moreover, the South Korean• Республика Корея watchdog plans to promote the second phase of the
Virtual Asset User Protection Act, which includes regulations on the
distribution of digital assets.

The FSC’s Secretary-General explained that the regulator needs “to discuss how
to create listing standards, how to deal with stablecoins, and how to create
rules for the behavior of virtual asset exchanges,” adding that the government
will align with global crypto regulations.

Additionally, the report notes that the FSC plans to introduce a “screening
system for the eligibility of major shareholders of virtual asset operators
through amendments to the Special Financial Transactions Act.”

The regulator will also work on improving self-regulation by implementing
criteria for reviewing memecoins and other cryptocurrencies• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта to protect
investors, and it will introduce forensic equipment to investigate unlawful
trading behavior.

South Korea• Республика Корея’s Changing Crypto Landscape

Over the last few years, South Korea• Республика Корея has attempted to shift to a more
regulated and stable environment for investors. Kora Exchange’s Chairman,
Jeong Eun-bo, has called for a change in lawmakers’ and financial
institutions’ view of crypto assets.

Jeong suggested that the country’s regulator consider incorporating virtual
assets into institutional finance to revitalize the market, “create added
value,” and compete with other countries.

It is worth noting that the FSC’s stance on virtual assets has been criticized
for seemingly challenging the market’s development and international
competitiveness.

Nonetheless, the ongoing shift has seen the creation of the Virtual Asset
Committee to advise and discuss industry-related policies. Moreover, the FSC
announced that this group would soon review the long-standing ban on
crypto-based investment products.

As reported by Bitcoinist, Jeong announced the Korea Exchange’s plan to
explore crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in 2025 after the country’s
capital markets faced substantial challenges in 2024.

Additionally, the country has postponed the crypto taxation policy by two
years. The policy, previously set to be introduced in January 2025, will
collect 20% capital gains tax from investors trading digital assets. Following
the delay, the tax policy is expected to be implemented in 2027.
