South Korea’s Crypto Revolution: ETFs and Stablecoins Unleashed!

Hold onto your hats, folks! South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has filed a roadmap to approve spot crypto ETFs, aligning with President Lee Jae Myung’s campaign pledge to lift the country’s longstanding ban on these digital wonders. 🤑

The FSC’s plan outlines steps to implement approval measures for these products in the second half of 2025, marking a major policy shift from its previous stance that categorized cryptocurrencies as unsuitable base assets due to financial stability concerns. 😱
