South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) is seeking to enact a unified Digital Asset Framework Act before the end of the year. The proposed legislation would consolidate 10 pending digital-asset bills into one regulatory framework addressing stablecoins, cryptocurrency-exchange rules, and anti-money-laundering (AML) requirements.
The initiative would place multiple outstanding legislative proposals under a single framework rather than advancing separate bills independently. The FSC is the principal financial regulator identified in the report and is pursuing the consolidated approach as part of South Korea’s digital-asset regulatory agenda.
The proposed framework is expected to cover stablecoins, although the report does not specify reserve, issuance, redemption, licensing, or supervisory provisions. It would also establish or unify rules affecting digital-asset exchanges; the article does not provide details on the scope of exchange obligations, registration requirements, or market-conduct standards.
