South Korea Joins Global Crypto Race Allows Big Investors to Enter Market

South Korea Joins Global Crypto Race Allows Big Investors to Enter Market

In the near term, the long-awaited changes to South Korea’s crypto sector promise to allow institutional investors to trade virtual assets by late 2025. On February 13th, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced the new policy, which seeks to position the nation in line with international developments regarding crypto while accommodating its rapidly increasing domestic demand for blockchain investments.22ccc

With around 3,500 corporate entities eligible, the decision is set to boost market liquidity and increase institutional legitimacy. Yet, it is important to note that financial institutions are still forbidden since they can trigger systemic risks, indicating that the road to digital assets’ background establishment is gradual and selective.

Didn’t Ride the Turbo? MoonBull Whitelist Is Closing Soon – Your Shot at the Next 100x Crypto

20 August 2025

Gradual Rollout of Corporate Crypto Accounts

Q2 2025: Non-profit organizations such as universities and accredited charities will be able to open real-name bank accounts for the purpose of liquidating crypto donations. Such entities will now be able to convert digital assets into cash, improving financial transparency and streamlining operations. 

Through the second half of 2025: When around 3,500 listed companies and professional investors can trade virtual assets. Such entities are considered qualified professional investors under the Capital Markets Act and are eligible to take part in a pilot program focused on real-name trading for both investment and financial purposes.

STOs

Financial Institutions Excluded

This explicit exclusion in the first phase is consistent with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) goal of mitigating risk contagion for the wider financial system. Instead, the emphasis will be placed on promoting investments in blockchain, thus allowing the issuance of security tokens under upcoming Security Token Offering (STO) regulations.

It is a more cautious and risk-managed way to introduce the crypto market to institutional investors. STOs prioritize the tokenization of securities in South Korea, developing its digital asset base together with economic stability, which ultimately lays the groundwork for regulated tokenized securities to sit alongside their more conventional counterparts.

Strengthening Regulatory Frameworks

In order to provide a safe and transparent trading environment, the FSC announced several measures to be implemented:

Stricter Identity Checks (Know-Your-Customer or KYC) Protocols: Banks will be required to thoroughly confirm both the intent of transactions and the source of funds for those opening accounts for virtual asset trading. citeturn0search10

Third-Party Custody Services: Virtual asset exchanges will be advised to use third-party custody and management services to guarantee the safekeeping of digital assets and improve investor confidence. 

Heightened Transparency: More information disclosures will be provided to ensure all investors are acting on facts rather than speculation and also encourage a culture of transparency within the crypto market. 

International Coordination and Domestic Necessity

South Korea’s policy change is in line with global industry trends in the virtual asset sector, which in turn ensures the country is competitive. The FSC noted the increased acceptance of corporate involvement in crypto globally, adding,

“Key states around the world are providing corporate access to crypto markets, and the domestic market for crypto-related businesses is increasing significantly.”

This policy strengthens the blockchain ecosystem of South Korea.

Industry Response

The crypto sector has chiefly welcomed the FSC’s announcement. Market participants see this as a crucial move toward bringing institutional investors into the digital asset ecosystem with the potential benefits of added market liquidity and maturity to the market. Instead, some experts recommend caution, stressing the necessity of strong regulatory frameworks to address potential risks that could come with higher corporate involvement.

South Korea’s Crypto Revolution

Allowing institutional investors into South Korea’s virtual asset market is a landmark move in that country’s progression toward modern banking adjustments. The South Korean government plans to keep dogmatic trading to a bare minimum by creating a solid and resilient ecosystem for digital asset trading. Through a phased approach, South Korea aims to embrace blockchain investments while also ensuring financial security. This motion has not only followed the global trend but also made the nation a competitive player in the fast-growing crypto and security tokens markets.
