South Korea's pushing forward an ambitious 2026 roadmap that could reshape the country's crypto landscape. The plan centers on green-lighting spot Bitcoin ETFs, which would open institutional pathways for BTC exposure. Beyond that, authorities are fast-tracking digital asset legislation to establish clearer regulatory frameworks. The foreign exchange side gets a major overhaul too—starting July 2026, onshore FX trading goes 24/7, a move designed to pull in foreign capital and boost market liquidity. Still in the works: comprehensive stablecoin regulations that'll determine how these assets operate within the Korean ecosystem. It's a coordinated push to modernize the financial infrastructure while keeping pace with global crypto adoption trends.

If South Korea's combination punches really land, the crypto landscape in Asia will have to be reshuffled.

Korea's move is quite aggressive. By 2026, they will directly open spot Bitcoin ETFs, and institutions should be happy.

This move by Korea is really aggressive. Once the spot Bitcoin ETF is launched, institutions will be able to legitimately jump on board.

Korea is really not holding back this time, fully rolling out in 2026 with spot Bitcoin ETFs, 24-hour forex trading, stablecoin regulation... It feels like a race against the world.
