South Korea Takes Action: New Stablecoin Regulations Under Development

The Bank of Korea (BOK) is stepping up its efforts to regulate stablecoins, a move reflecting the potential risks these digital assets pose to financial stability and monetary policy in South Korea. The BOK aims to actively shape the second phase of cryptocurrency legislation by proposing comprehensive guidelines for stablecoin regulation. This initiative stems from concerns that widespread adoption of stablecoins could potentially undermine existing monetary strategies and disrupt traditional financial systems. The BOK emphasizes a wider regulatory approach beyond individual stakeholders in the crypto sector.
