Key Developments
“Institutions need to abide by the existing guidelines until the adoption of new regulations, even if there are regulatory changes being made in the U.S. and in South Korea.” — FSS Official, Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) (source)
Recent regulatory changes in the U.S. and globally have influenced South Korea’s policy, aiming for a harmonized approach. Asset management firms must now strategize to balance regulatory compliance with portfolio diversification goals. Existing guidance from 2017 already precludes direct investments in digital assets, maintaining stability in domestic markets.
