South Korea Signals a Major Shift in Crypto Policy

[kevin1]

South Korea has unveiled a sweeping digital asset roadmap as part of its 2026 Economic Growth Strategy, marking a clear pivot from defensive regulation toward institutional adoption and industry development. The plan represents the country’s most ambitious crypto overhaul since the 2022 Terra-Luna collapse.

Rather than treating crypto purely as a risk to contain, policymakers are now positioning digital assets as tools for economic growth. The strategy spans stablecoin regulation, spot crypto ETFs, and blockchain-powered government payments — signaling that crypto is moving firmly into Korea’s mainstream financial planning.
