There is a tense expectation in the South Korean financial sector: serious changes are possible. MP Min Byung-dok, representing the ruling Democratic Party, proposed amendments to the Law on the Capital Market and Financial Investments.

The main goal is to remove the barrier between traditional finance and digital assets by allowing exchange–traded funds (ETFs) linked to cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. This is the realization of President Lee Jae-myung's election promise, which means that Korea does not want to lag behind the United States on the issue of crypto-ETFs.

The essence of the amendments is the inclusion of digital assets in the list of basic assets of financial investment products and trust assets.

Imagine: Korean investors, from large companies to ordinary people, will be able to invest in bitcoin through familiar, regulated exchange-traded funds, rather than through risky direct purchases. It is convenient, safe and reliable – transparency and asset protection are guaranteed by law.

A familiar workspace, familiar control over exchange operations and confidence in the safety of funds - all this promises a sharp influx of "sophisticated" investors. These are people who want to invest in the crypt, but at the same time they expect security and clear rules. If digital assets stop being "gray" and come under proper control, investors will feel more secure and the market will become more transparent.

The adoption of this amendment will serve as a convincing signal to the whole world about Korea's desire not only to be a part of, but also to determine the direction of development in creating a new financial system.
