Korea Exchange Signals Readiness for Crypto ETFs
-

South Korea’s main exchange operator, Korea Exchange (KRX), has signaled it is operationally prepared to support crypto-linked investment products, including exchange-traded funds and derivatives. Speaking at the first trading day ceremony of the new year, KRX chairman Jeong Eun-bo framed the move as part of a broader effort to modernize the country’s capital markets.
While no regulatory approvals were announced, the message was clear: infrastructure is no longer the bottleneck. As policymakers continue to debate how crypto fits into existing securities laws, KRX appears positioned to move quickly should legal barriers be lifted.
