Classifies cross-border stablecoins as foreign exchange payments, bans interest payouts, demands RWA assets in trusts. Oversight without mercy.

Will South Korea's Digital Asset Basic Act kill crypto innovation?

Not kill—maim. Builders adapt offshore; big players comply. Watch for 2025 exodus.

How does this affect tokenized real-world assets in Korea?

Issuers must custody assets in Capital Markets trusts. No more freewheeling tokenization.
