📈 South Korea Considers Crypto ETFs
South Korea's ruling party is exploring the possibility of approving crypto-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The government plans to review global trends and regulatory frameworks before making a decision, aiming to balance market development with user protection.
With crypto trading volumes in Korea surpassing $9B daily, the push for crypto ETFs grows stronger. Experts warn that delays could cause South Korea to fall behind in the global market. (2/3)

🇰🇷📰Both the ruling and opposition parties in South Korea are proposing poll promises favorable to the #crypto market as part of their campaign for the upcoming general election in April. Given South Korea's significant role in the crypto market with high trading volume, the implementation of these favorable poll promises would have a positive impact on the global crypto market.
✅Please refer to the major crypto-related poll promises in the table. The crypto-related poll promises from the opposing Democratic Party were officially announced today, KST, while the Ruling People Power Party is expected to announce theirs officially later this week.

🇰🇷 Is it time for South Korea to embrace crypto at the national level? 👀🇰🇷
At a high-profile forum, financial experts urged South Korea to take bold steps: accumulate Bitcoin as a reserve asset & issue a won-backed stablecoin. With the U.S. considering a national crypto reserve, failing to act could weaken SK’s financial sovereignty.
Experts warn that if USD-pegged stablecoins dominate global trade without a Korean counterpart, SK could lose control over digital transactions. A government-backed stablecoin—possibly tied to SK bonds—could boost financial stability & global investment. (3/3)

The onset of 2023 began with a harsh winter for the industry, reflecting the major bankruptcies within the crypto industry alongside rising global interest rates and major layoffs. Despite these difficulties, we have seen the buds of spring as the year has come to a close.
Looking ahead to 2024, we anticipate a historic moment for the crypto market. The upcoming events, including the potential approval for spot Bitcoin ETFs, the adoption of MiCA regulations, and the new FASB rule for Bitcoin, are poised to pave the way for crypto assets to become institutional-grade investments, catalyzing a quantum leap in the market.
Dedicated to upholding the integrity of the blockchain industry since 2018, we are excited to witness the market progressing toward healthier circumstances. This year, we will be providing more services and products to meet the evolving needs of our community.
Wishing you a Happy New Year!

2/ The Act represents South Korea’s first legal guidelines for the management and oversight of virtual assets, including cryptocurrencies. It largely focuses on (a) protecting crypto investors, (b) prohibiting unfair trading activities involving undisclosed material information and market price manipulation, and (c) providing supervision and sanctioning authority over virtual asset service providers (VASPs). If the unfairly gained profit exceeds KRW 5 billion ($3.8 million), violators may face a life sentence. For more details: fsc.go.kr/eng/pr010101/81698…

3/ At the moment, local institutions in South Korea are restricted from issuing and listing crypto-related ETFs and brokering overseas-based spot bitcoin ETFs. However, last week, both South Korea’s ruling and opposition political parties proposed gradually removing the ban on spot bitcoin ETFs ahead of the general election on April 10. Cryptocurrencies are not currently classified as financial instruments under the existing 'Financial Investment Services And Capital Markets Act' in South Korea. To lift the ban, the Act would need to be revised.

1/ The surge in custody deposits primarily stems from crypto price escalations in the latter half of the previous year. Currently, in South Korea, financial institutions have been prohibited from holding, purchasing, acquiring collateral, and investing in crypto assets since late 2017. Additionally, amendments to the 'Act on Specific Financial Information,' effective in 2021, have halted banks from offering real-name bank account services to legal entities essential for cryptocurrency transactions. Consequently, legal entities are unable to deposit and withdraw KRW to cryptocurrency exchanges.

We may look back at Gateway Miami as a monumental moment in art history as our digital world expands further.
As one of the first and earliest auctions dedicated to contemporary digital artists, it combined our desire to indulge art both IRL and digitally - and proving to the world that there is a difference between JPGs and NFTs.

2/ Both the ruling and opposition parties have proposed gradually lifting the country's ban on institutional investment in crypto assets and Spot #Bitcoin ETFs. If implemented, this move would significantly boost Korea's market share in crypto trading, currently dominated by individual accounts. Moreover, it would lead to substantial increases in custody deposits in Korea, consequently driving growth in the crypto custody business in the country 🔥

KODA's market share in the domestic cryptocurrency custody business was 80% as end of June 2023), according to the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit(FIU) report. 🧵👇
