South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) plans to introduce spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as part of the country's 2026 Economic Growth Strategy. Announced on January 5, the strategy aims to align South Korea's crypto market with global standards, referencing existing spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States and Hong Kong. While specific details on listing dates and fund structures remain undisclosed, this move marks a significant shift in South Korea's regulatory stance on digital assets. In addition to spot Bitcoin ETFs, the FSC is preparing a second-stage Digital Asset Act targeting stablecoin regulation. This legislation, expected in 2026, will establish rules for stablecoin issuers, including 100% reserve backing and redemption rights for holders. The act will also address cross-border stablecoin transfers and transactions, with the FSC collaborating with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance to develop these regulations. Furthermore, the government plans to introduce "deposit tokens" backed by commercial bank deposits into public finance by 2030, with legal revisions anticipated in 2026 to support blockchain-based payment systems.
