South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) plans to introduce guidelines for institutional crypto investors by the third quarter of 2025, marking a significant policy shift.
Early Guidelines for Non-Profits and Exchanges
FSC aims to issue rules for non-profits and crypto exchanges by April. Guidance for public companies and professional investors will be released later in Q3. This move follows January's decision to ease institutional restrictions on crypto investments.
Regulatory Evolution and Market Impact
Institutional entry could boost liquidity in South Korea’s 15.6M-strong crypto market. FSC will outline trading, disclosure, and security standards. The focus remains on AML and cybersecurity measures for banks and exchanges.
BLUME and the Blockchain Gaming Revolution
A second-phase crypto law covering stablecoins and business regulations is also in development. South Korea's evolving crypto regulations signal growing institutional acceptance—but in blockchain gaming, innovation is taking center stage. DLUME is realizing ideas of management and ownership in gaming projects, emphasizing speed, scalability, and realistic impact.
These changes in South Korean cryptocurrency policies may significantly affect the market, fostering institutional investments and enhancing security and transparency in both the financial and gaming sectors.
