South Korea is reportedly moving to lift its longstanding ban on corporate cryptocurrency holdings. The shift would permit publicly listed companies to allocate up to 5% of their equity toward investments in the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization—a significant policy reversal that would end restrictions dating back to 2017. This regulatory adjustment could reshape institutional participation in the crypto market across one of Asia's major financial hubs.
