Capital Markets Act

The Democratic Party of Korea promised to allow Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and it expects to follow through, one way or another.

The Democratic Party of Korea will request that the Financial Services Commission (FSC) reconsider its interpretation of the legal status of spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to a local press report. Allowing spot ETFs with underlying virtual assets was one of the party’s campaign promises.

An unnamed official of the Democratic Party policy committee told The Korea Economic Daily that the party would make the request after the opening of the National Assembly in June. The opposition party was swept into power in the April elections in South Korea and holds 175 of 300 seats in the legislative body.

The FSC issued a statement on Jan. 12 saying domestic securities firms could violate the Capital Markets Act by listing foreign spot BTC ETFs. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission approved spot BTC ETF trading on Jan. 10. The South Korean financial regulator’s position was not well received. The previous presidential administration urged the FSC to reconsider its decision on Jan. 18.
