As a significant step in regulated adoption, the Korean government has official plans to introduce spot digital asset ETFs this year. By 2030, 25% of government spending will be funded with deposit tokens, increasing transparency and reducing subsidy fraud. The related legislation is expected to be completed by 2026, with amendments to the Bank of Korea Act and the National Treasury Act included. The most ambitious aspect of this strategy is integrating blockchain technology into government administration.
South Korea is poised to pass a comprehensive stablecoin bill in the first quarter and to allow spot cryptocurrency ETFs. Officials say the move reflects a shift toward broader institutional access and regulatory clarity in digital assets. The plan includes launching spot digital asset ETFs later this year and establishing clear guidelines for stablecoins.
Additionally, amendments to the Bank of Korea Act and the National Treasury Act are expected as part of the package. By 2030, the government intends to execute about 25% of its spending through deposit tokens, increasing transparency and reducing subsidy fraud. While the package aims to accelerate digital asset adoption, officials emphasize a staged approach with legislative milestones targeted for 2026.
