South Korea’s Parliament Shifts to Stablecoins

South Korea’s annual parliamentary audit will focus on stablecoins, not scandals, for the first time.

In past years, lawmakers grilled regulators and exchanges over manipulation or failures. But in 2025, the industry avoided major crises. Instead, attention is on stablecoin inflows and outflows, a priority for President Lee Jae-myung’s crypto-friendly administration.

The audit begins Oct. 13, right after Chuseok.

Lawmakers on the National Policy Committee are drafting witness lists.

Exchange executives may avoid the harsh spotlight this year.

Stablecoins now sit at the center of Korea’s crypto policy debate.
