South Korea Unlocks Institutional Crypto! 🇰🇷
BREAKING NEWS: Today, January 20, 2026, South Korea made a historic decision, officially ending its nine-year ban on
corporate and institutional crypto trading!
Under new guidelines, over 3,500 entities (listed companies, investment firms) can now allocate up to 5% of their equity into digital assets. This is restricted to the Top 20 cryptocurrencies (like
$BTC ,
$ETH ,
$SOL ) to ensure market stability.
Massive Potential Inflow: This move opens the floodgates for billions in institutional capital. Some analysts are projecting $50B+ in new market liquidity over the next 12-18 months!
Other Key Updates:
•Tax Delay: The 20% crypto capital gains tax is officially postponed to Jan 1, 2027, giving investors more breathing room.
•Zero Tolerance: Regulatory vigilance remains high, highlighted by a recent $107M money laundering bust.
This is a game-changer for crypto adoption in Asia and could set a significant precedent globally. The "Kimchi Premium" is already shrinking as arbitrage opportunities emerge.
