South Korea’s People Power Party has announced bold steps to integrate cryptocurrencies into the national banking system and open doors to spot crypto ETF trading by the end of the year. At a recent National Assembly meeting the party outlined seven key initiatives aimed at nurturing a robust crypto asset ecosystem. Among these the abolition of the restrictive “one exchange one bank” rule stands out designed originally to limit money laundering but now seen as a hurdle to crypto market expansion.

Furthermore the PPP’s commitment to legalizing security token offerings and establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins signifies a strategic embrace of digital assets aligning with global standards. The party also plans to introduce the “Digital Asset Promotion Basic Act” a legislative move that seeks to foster innovation and restore investor confidence in the wake of recent political upheaval.

With the presidential election scheduled for June 3 and the former president Yoon Suk-yeol’s recent impeachment the PPP’s push for crypto-friendly policies could play a critical role in the upcoming election. The party’s proactive stance on cryptocurrency could transform South Korea’s financial landscape promising a future where digital assets are both secure and integral to economic growth.
