South Korea will introduce a regulatory framework for stablecoins and approve spot cryptocurrency ETFs in early 2026, signaling a shift toward institutional adoption. The stablecoin laws will require issuers to secure government authorization, maintain full reserve backing, and protect user redemption rights to prevent crises like Terra-Luna. Additionally, the government plans to integrate blockchain technology into public finance, aiming to use digital currencies for a quarter of treasury disbursements by 2030.
