The post South Korea Gets New Crypto Regulation Framework Backed by President Lee appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News A game-changing crypto bill has been introduced in South Korea, and it could open the doors to a government-backed stablecoin market , one that favors local innovation and tighter security for users. Korean Stablecoins May Soon Go Mainstream The proposed Digital Asset Basic Act, introduced by ruling party lawmaker Min Byeong-deok , lays out a licensing system for stablecoin issuers. To qualify, projects must hold at least 500 million Korean won in capital (around $367,890). While that sounds steep, it could mark the beginning of a regulated and scalable stablecoin ecosystem fully backed by the Korean won, something President Lee Jae-myung has strongly supported. For crypto users, this means South Korean won-based stablecoins could soon become a legitimate alternative to USDT and USDC, especially for on-chain activity without forex risk or capital flight issues. Stronger Legal Ground for Crypto Innovation This bill isn’t just about stablecoins. It proposes a legal definition for all digital assets and introduces a presidentially overseen Digital Asset Committee. That’s a big shift toward a mature and clearly regulated market, a huge plus for developers, DeFi protocols, and exchanges operating in Korea or looking to enter the market. If passed, the law could also crack down on insider trading, pump-and-dump schemes, and rug pulls, offering users more confidence and transparency. South Korea Taking Notes from the Best Min says the bill was inspired by frameworks already in place in the U.S., EU, Japan, and Hong Kong, especially Hong Kong’s licensing requirements for stablecoin issuers. With the U.S. pushing the Genius Act and other nations moving fast, South Korea clearly doesn’t want to be left behind. .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : Kenya’s Crypto Tax Threatens Africa’s Digital Economy to Halt Before It Can Unify , Kaia Enters Stablecoin Race as South Korea Bets Big on Crypto In parallel news, Kakao-backed blockchain Kaia has pledged to launch a Korean won-pegged stablecoin, aligning with President Lee Jae-myung’s crypto-friendly agenda. The announcement comes amid a broader push to support private stablecoin issuers under the upcoming Digital Asset Basic Act. Kaia’s move carries serious weight, thanks to its deep ties with Kakao’s massive digital ecosystem, including Kakao Pay, which saw a 30% stock surge alongside rival Danal after the news. With over half of the surveyed Koreans planning to grow their crypto holdings, optimism is spreading fast. As South Korea’s payment giants rally and stablecoin regulation nears, the country is clearly setting the stage for a homegrown DeFi explosion. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

Eight leading crypto policy organizations based in Washington, DC, along with Uniswap and Jump, have called on the U.S. Congress to incorporate the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) into the CLARITY Act, a digital asset market structure bill, crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported. This joint statement, which includes important organizations such as DeFi Education Fund, Coin Center, Solana Foundation's policy arm Solana Institute, Digital Chamber, Blockchain Association, Crypto Council for Innovation, Bitcoin Policy Institute and Paradigm, is considered a critical step in the industry. The BRCA aims not to regulate software developers and infrastructure providers that do not store customer assets in the same way traditional financial institutions do, the statement said. The regulation was first introduced by GOP Majority Representative Tom Emmer and later became a bipartisan proposal with the support of Democratic Representative Ritchie Torres.

BRCA draws that line clearly and protects innovation,” one policy leader told Terrett. The joint statement made following the inclusion of BRCA in the final version of the bill included the following statements: “We welcome the inclusion of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) in the newly proposed version of the CLARITY Act. This is a meaningful step toward protecting peer-to-peer technology developers who do not control customer funds. The updated bill takes a balanced approach, building on FinCEN’s 2019 guidance that developers and infrastructure providers should not be regulated as money transmitters when they do not control customer funds.” *This is not investment advice.

The recent public listing of stablecoin USDC issuer Circle has been all the buzz lately, particularly following its strong debut. But could the success have negative implications for Bitcoin? A recent report from crypto market analyst 10x Research suggests Circle’s initial public offering (IPO) may not be as bullish for the broader crypto market as it appears. Instead, it might be a cautionary tale for Bitcoin (BTC) . The sentiment stems from historical parallels. Analysts are comparing Circle’s IPO to Coinbase’s public debut in 2021, which also recorded strong early success. Is Circle’s IPO the Next Coinbase Moment—or a Signal to Sell Bitcoin? Why this report matters Crypto markets just witnessed another major milestone: Circle’s IPO.

The shares went on to surge as high as $429 during intraday trading, before closing at $328.28. The milestone, however, marked a local top for the market. Bitcoin’s price fell by 54% over the following three months before eventually staging a 130% rebound and the precedent has sparked speculation that a similar pattern could play out again.
