South Korea's Proposed Legislation to Enhance Crypto Disclosures

South Korea is considering a second-phase digital asset legislation that aims to elevate cryptocurrency disclosures to align with the country's DART filing system. According to NS3.AI, a commissioned research report suggests the introduction of new licensed business categories for virtual asset evaluation, advisory, and disclosure services. The report emphasizes that the regulations for these services should match the strength and scope of the Financial Consumer Protection Act. Additionally, the study highlights structural conflicts of interest faced by DAXA but does not recommend imposing limits on the shareholdings of major crypto exchange owners.
