A representative from one management firm revealed that the FSS has stalled efforts to launch a Coinbase-focused ETF indefinitely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source added:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We\u2019re prepared to launch immediately once we secure regulatory approval.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The regulatory hurdles have also prompted hesitation among other players. Another firm, considering blockchain-focused ETFs, said that even without explicit guidelines from the FSS, the rejection of similar products has made them cautious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local market participants have argued that the current approach is overly cautious and legally questionable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jung Soo-ho, Managing Partner at Renaissance Law Firm, pointed out that investments in publicly traded companies like Coinbase do not violate the Capital Markets Act, adding that the FSS' stance lacks a clear legal foundation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cWhile these measures may be intended to protect investors, they essentially function as unwarranted regulatory overreach.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, an FSS official stated that the regulator can\u2019t relax its policies even as demand for Bitcoin as an investment in South Korea rises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Potential change<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the FSS prohibition, South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) will create a Virtual Asset Committee to tackle<\/span> <strong><a

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new committee, led by FSC Vice Chairman Soyoung Kim and including representatives from related government departments and nine private sector members, will oversee and guide the crypto industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the Virtual Asset Committee will address the authorization of corporate accounts for crypto investing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a<\/span> <strong><a

Korea was the Eastern Asian country with the largest crypto transaction value between 2023 and 2024, receiving roughly $130 billion in crypto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The significant volume is driven by South Koreans' mistrust of traditional financial systems and boosted by efforts from large companies such as Samsung in the crypto industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
