FSC's Phased Approach to Virtual Asset Regulation
FSC proposes a phased approach to crypto regulation: initially establishing foundational structures, integrating assets into the traditional financial system, and continuously evaluating and adapting the rules.
The Future of the Korean Crypto Market
South Korea aims to develop a mature crypto market, attract institutional capital, and position itself as a leading hub for blockchain innovation in Asia.
