Financial authorities in South Korea prepare for the second phase of virtual asset legislation this month to regulate the remaining aspects of the crypto market. The move comes as South Korea’s National Assembly passed the “Virtual Asset User Protection Act” last week that defines digital assets, penalties for unfair transactions, and gives oversight power to the Financial Services Commission (FSC).<\/p>\n

The FSC concluded<\/a> A digital asset private joint task force (TF) working group meeting on Monday to outline legislation for fully incorporating virtual assets into the institutional system. The second phase focuses on regulating virtual asset issuance and financing by virtual asset operators, solutions to conflicts of interest in the issuance process, stablecoin<\/a> regulatory frameworks, and other remaining aspects of the crypto market.<\/p>\n

We will actively negotiate with relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Administrative Security, the prosecution, the police, the Bank of Korea, and the Financial Supervisory Service , and promote various measures to establish a market discipline system.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
