South Korea Is Also Pushing a Stablecoin Law — With a Deadline

[chainsniff]

Crypto regulation isn’t stopping with liability rules.

Lawmakers have given regulators until Dec 10 to submit a stablecoin regulation draft — or they’ll move forward without them.
The goal is to introduce the bill during the January 2026 extraordinary session.

This comes as South Korea tightens:

• AML controls on small crypto transfers
• Reporting requirements
• Exchange security standards
• Consumer protection rules

Between the stablecoin bill and the new bank-level liabilities, South Korea is positioning itself as one of the strictest — and most structured — crypto regulatory environments in the world.

A strict deadline shows how serious regulators are this time.
