Korea Exchange Ready to Launch Bitcoin ETFs, But Regulation Remains Stalled

Korea Exchange chairman Jeong Eun-bo has pledged to launch crypto ETFs and move trading toward 24/7 operations.

Progress is being held up by a prolonged dispute between the Financial Services Commission and the Bank of Korea over stablecoin issuance.

The disagreement has stalled South Korea's efforts to finalize a comprehensive digital asset framework, leaving ETF plans in limbo despite the exchange's readiness.
