BitGo became the first foreign crypto company to register directly as a virtual asset service provider in Korea, signalling growing institutional interest in regulated digital asset services in the country despite ongoing regulatory uncertainty.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Korean crypto regulation is opening with new registration routes focused on institutions, making it the time to engage Korean financial firms and build compliant infrastructure locally. You can gain market access by embedding into Korea’s evolving crypto rules rather than relying on local partners.
