According to the presser, the country\u2019s Capital Market Act will oversee crypto tokens that share similar traits with traditional securities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also, crypto exchanges and other crypto facility providers will be required to assess and determine what tokens qualify as securities. The presser stressed that entities that fail to align with the new regime could face sanctions. Companies that do not comply with the updated rules would be deemed in violation of securities laws, per the FSC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Industry observers opined insight regarding what tokens could be classified as securities under the broadened policy. Blockchain assets and cryptos currencies that offer dividends or a share of business profits are believed to qualify as securities, per reports. <\/p>\n<p>The move could herald a slew of ramifications for local crypto participants and digital assets service providers (DASPs), incentivizing stakeholders to alter their offerings or rethink business models.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>South Korea\u2019s Lawmakers Inch Closer To Crypto Regulations&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Indeed, Monday\u2019s news was released months after a raft of regulatory moves from South Korea\u2019s financial agencies and lawmakers aimed at regularizing the crypto industry. These efforts notably picked up following the failures of marquee industry players like Three Arrows Capital and Terra, a blockchain ecosystem founded by the fugitive Do Kwon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, lawmakers mulled several policy proposals including taxing token airdrops and cracking down on unregistered blockchain entities. 13 Digital Asset Bills were in review as of August last year and 16 crypto exchanges were named as illegal operators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The country is also en route to unveiling crypto regulations lawmakers say will protect investors without stifling innovation in the local crypto landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/south-koreas-fsa-expand-securities-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":170604,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
