Overview

South Korea’s push to formalize crypto rules is running into a familiar fault line: who gets to control stablecoin issuance and oversight. Across reports, the Digital Asset Basic Act (or similarly described digital-asset bill) is being pushed back as regulators and lawmakers debate issuer eligibility, reserve and enforcement expectations, and investor-protection guardrails—extending uncertainty in a major regional market while proposals are consolidated into a revised package.
