The Korean financial regulatory authorities recently announced an important guideline, officially allowing listed companies and professional investors to participate in cryptocurrency trading—this means the 9-year ban on corporate crypto investments has been officially lifted. Under the new policy, eligible listed companies can invest up to 5% of their capital annually in the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Industry insiders expect that this policy adjustment could release hundreds of trillions of Korean won in investment capital into the market, representing a significant policy breakthrough for the entire crypto industry. This not only opens the door for institutional investors but also reflects the increasing acceptance of digital assets within the mainstream financial system.
