This initiative aligns with campaign promises made by President Lee Jae-myung, who pledged to lift the domestic ban on crypto ETFs as part of efforts to provide more financial opportunities for the country’s younger generation.

South Korea is the second-largest crypto market by trading volume, behind the U.S. In 2025, crypto trading volume denominated in Korean won (KRW) is expected to reach $663 billion, second to the U.S. dollar-denominated $832 billion, according to Kaiko data.
