Korean industry insiders are paying close attention this time: KRW stablecoin regulation must not only focus on the issuer, minimum capital, and reserve assets.
News1 reports that the discussion also covers initial circulating supply, issuance and redemption mechanisms, and measures to ensure secondary-market liquidity. Industry participants believe that reserve assets can support redemptions, but relying on them alone may not necessarily prevent short-term price distortions.
Market interpretations are mixed. For long-term compliance of KRW stablecoins, the outlook is somewhat positive; but for small issuers and trading platforms with high entry barriers and weak liquidity, the outlook is somewhat negative. If a formal bill is introduced later, the pace of listings on exchanges and payment use cases could be rewritten. Which do you care more about: whether “the peg and redemption can hold steady,” or whether “liquidity safeguards will raise the bar”?
