According to News1, the Korean government stated in the published "2026 Economic Growth Strategy" that it plans to promote the domestic launch of spot ETFs for digital assets such as Bitcoin this year, and the Financial Services Commission (FSC) will accelerate the legislative process for the second phase of digital assets. The relevant legislation will establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins, including issuer licensing, 100% reserve asset requirements, and redemption rights, while also developing cross-border stablecoin trading regulations. The Korean government pointed out that, given the active trading of Bitcoin spot ETFs in markets like the United States and Hong Kong, Korea will allow spot ETFs for digital assets.
