South Korea is considering the launch of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in 2025, following a seven-year ban on such financial instruments. The move aims to revitalize the nation's stagnant crypto market and restore its competitive edge globally. The Korea Exchange is looking to overseas examples, particularly the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, to build its framework. Additionally, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) plans to explore Security Token Offerings (STOs) under the same schedule, with the aim of upgrading the financial industry and attracting institutional and retail investors. There are still challenges to overcome, such as legislative delays, but regulatory authorities are determined to improve South Korea's global reputation in the crypto industry.
