South Korea Begins Stablecoin Regulation Talks With First Government…

South Korea's government is launching formal legislative discussions on stablecoin regulation through its first official government forum, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Koo Yun-cheol, with a target to pass comprehensive stablecoin legislation by end of 2025. The move aligns with global regulatory trends, particularly the US $GENIUS Act implementation in January, and aims to establish reserve requirements, issuance standards, and operational guidelines for stablecoin issuers. If you issue or trade dollar-pegged stablecoins in Asia, South Korea just opened a rule-making window—and the US and EU are forcing their hand with January deadlines. Get input into this bill before year-end or you'll be building to rules you didn't shape.
