BitGo just secured registration as a crypto operator in South Korea 🇰🇷
This is institutional infrastructure quietly expanding into Asia. Korea's been tightening the gates since the Terra collapse, so getting approved means BitGo passed their compliance gauntlet.
Why it matters:
- More custody rails = more institutional $BTC and altcoin flow into Korea
- Korean retail is massive but regulatory clarity has been a blocker
- BitGo handles billions in custody - this opens doors for Korean exchanges and funds to plug into global liquidity
Korea is a top-5 crypto market. If you're watching institutional adoption, this is a quiet win for the bulls.
