South Korean Crypto Industry Smarts at Stablecoin Regulation Plans

South Korean crypto industry insiders have expressed dismay at lawmakers’ plans to police the stablecoin industry, calling proposals “unfair.” Per Hanguk Kyungjae , several South Korean crypto industry officials, all speaking under condition of anonymity, have spoken out against the proposed Basic Digital Asset Act (literal translation). South Korean Crypto Industry Unimpressed by Bill The draft law is a private member’s bill, and has been proposed by the lawmaker Min Byung-deok , a member of the Democratic Party.

The bill includes several provisions related to the crypto industry. But possibly the most controversial of these pertains to domestic stablecoin issuance. If passed in its current form, it requires would-be South Korean stablecoin issuers to seek prior approval from the regulatory Financial Services Commission. Industry officials told the media outlet they were concerned about the “fairness and effectiveness” of the bill. Min is slated to launch the bill in the National Assembly next month.

The bill reportedly contains several clauses that cover issuance and distribution protocols for both stablecoins and cryptoassets. The draft law also seeks to impose disclosure protocols on stablecoin issuers. These would oblige force stablecoin firms to demonstrate evidence that they hold cash or other assets equivalent to the number of tokens they issue. Min’s law also proposes the launch of a self-regulatory body to police stablecoins and cryptoassets in South Korea. Critics said it would be “unfair” to saddle domestic companies with regulations, while overseas firms can continue “operating unhindered.” One unnamed crypto industry insider said: “Dollar-pegged stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) are not subject to domestic regulations. But they are actively traded on domestic crypto exchanges . That is unfair [on South Korean companies]. Regulations should be designed in a way that provides opportunities rather than stifles the industry.” ‘MiCA Not a Relevant Benchmark for South Korea’ Another industry insider claimed that Min’s bill appears to have used the European Union’s MiCA regulations as a reference point.

Stablecoins also need a realistic institutionalization strategy. This is not an issue that can be resolved over the course of a few meetings.” The post South Korean Crypto Industry Smarts at Stablecoin Regulation Plans appeared first on Cryptonews .
