#BREAKING: South Korea Moves Toward Spot $BTC ETFs 🇰🇷
South Korea plans to launch spot Bitcoin ETFs this year under its new “2026 Economic Growth Strategy,” led by the Financial Services Commission (FSC).
Until now, crypto was not recognized as an eligible ETF underlying asset, blocking domestic investors. That’s about to change.
What’s happening:
Fast-tracked amendments to the Capital Markets Act
Shift from strict regulation → institutional adoption
Inspired by spot BTC ETF success in the U.S. and Hong Kong
Why it matters:
Asia is accelerating. Regulatory clarity + ETFs = new institutional capital flows.
Bitcoin adoption continues to expand globally.
