Strict Limits Shape Korea’s Corporate Crypto Comeback

[madtrader]

While South Korea is reopening the door to institutional crypto trading, regulators are doing so cautiously. Corporate participation will be restricted not only by a 5% equity cap but also by asset selection rules that confine investments to large-cap cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether listed on the country’s five regulated exchanges.

The approach reflects the FSC’s priority: managing systemic, operational and reputational risks while gradually integrating institutions into the market. Exchanges will also need to introduce safeguards like staggered trade execution and order-size caps to prevent sudden price swings. Although institutional entry may improve liquidity and market structure over time, the tight restrictions mean massive treasury inflows are unlikely in the short term.
