The Korea Financial Services Commission officially approved the re-entry of listed companies and professional institutional investors into the cryptocurrency market, marking the end of a 9-year ban that has been in place since 2017. Under the new regulations, companies can allocate up to 5% of their equity to the top 20 digital assets. This policy adjustment is expected to unlock trillions of Korean won in institutional funds and inject new growth momentum into the market. This signifies a substantial shift in the Korean regulators' attitude towards digital assets, and institutional-level compliance entry will further improve the local digital asset ecosystem.
