🚨 $BTC : South Korea Is Opening the Floodgates to Bitcoin ETFs
South Korea is officially changing its stance on Bitcoin. The government plans to introduce spot $BTC ETFs this year, marking a major policy shift under its newly announced “2026 Economic Growth Strategy,” led by the Financial Services Commission (FSC).
Until now, Bitcoin was barred as an underlying ETF asset, effectively shutting domestic institutions out of regulated BTC exposure. That barrier is about to be removed. Lawmakers are preparing to fast-track amendments to the Capital Markets Act, clearing the way for large-scale, compliant Bitcoin investment.
This move isn’t happening in a vacuum. South Korea is clearly following the momentum set by spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. and Hong Kong, signaling a pivot from strict oversight to institutional participation.
Asia isn’t waiting.
Capital is mobilizing.
Is this the next domino in Bitcoin’s global ETF expansion?
