South Korean regulatory authorities have officially ended a 9-year corporate crypto ban. Under the new regulations, listed companies can now allocate up to 5% of their equity capital to purchase crypto assets. This policy adjustment is expected to inject institutional funds into the market.

From a capital allocation perspective, newly entering institutional investors typically prioritize Bitcoin — as the most mature crypto asset, BTC has historically been the preferred entry point for traditional capital. The recent policy favorable developments in the Asian market indicate that the participation of regional institutional investors will significantly increase.

In contrast, the attitudes of other major economies remain cautious. Industry insiders are generally concerned about when other regions will follow this kind of open policy, further releasing the suppressed institutional allocation demand.
