South Korea’s central bank is exploring a formal registration framework for domestic virtual asset issuance, signaling a shift from regulatory caution toward supervised inclusion. Rather than restricting crypto activity, authorities appear focused on bringing issuance under oversight to reduce systemic and capital-flow risks.

Currently, Korean investors can access crypto assets issued overseas, while domestic issuance remains limited. A registration system could rebalance this by allowing licensed institutions to issue digital assets in a transparent, regulated environment.

The Bank of Korea has highlighted concerns around won-pegged stablecoins, noting their potential to bypass capital controls when paired with USD stablecoins. This suggests stablecoin issuance may face stricter conditions than other token types.

If implemented, the framework could:
• Increase institutional participation
• Improve transparency and investor protection
• Encourage compliant innovation in tokenization and Web3

As regulation matures, scalable networks suited for institutional use — such as $SOL — may gain attention due to their efficiency and ecosystem depth, though outcomes will depend on final policy design.

The Bank of Korea’s move reflects a broader global trend: crypto integration through regulation, not exclusion. While challenges remain, this step could shape how digital assets evolve within regulated financial systems.
