According to the South Korean Financial Commission, the decision related to the lifting of restrictions on institutional cryptocurrency investments will be postponed for discussion at the second Cryptocurrency Asset Committee meeting scheduled for January 2025. Previously, Vice Chairman Kim Jae-ryong had stated that a decision regarding the opening of real-name accounts for institutions would be made by the end of 2024, but due to delays in government internal reviews, the plan could not be completed as scheduled. Industry insiders believe that allowing institutions and corporate investors to participate in the cryptocurrency market will help enhance market trust, stabilize prices, and promote a healthy trading culture. However, the delay in policy decisions may weaken South Korea's competitiveness in the global cryptocurrency market, contrasting with the gradually improving institutional cryptocurrency asset ecosystem in major countries such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union.
