South Korea has lifted a nine-year ban on corporate cryptocurrency investments, marking a shift in market structure towards institutional capital dominance, which will become the main force driving market stability and liquidity. This policy change introduces a longer-term, balance sheet-focused demand, thereby moving away from the previously retail-driven market volatility. Although institutional acceptance differs from Bitcoin's original anti-establishment philosophy, it promotes the durability of cryptocurrencies, more stable price trends, and broader adoption by prioritizing risk management over speculation.
