Citing DL News, South Korea’s Virtual Assets Committee (VAC) has not held a meeting since May 2025, stalling plans to allow corporations to create Bitcoin treasuries. The VAC, launched a year ago, has been inactive since its last meeting, with no rescheduling efforts. Industry insiders suggest the government is prioritizing the domestic stock market over crypto deregulation. The FSC, the VAC’s parent organization, postponed a planned October meeting, and no further discussions have occurred in the second half of the year. A regulatory roadmap from February 2025 aimed to allow 3,500 listed companies to buy crypto by mid-2025, but the delay is causing South Korean businesses to lose competitiveness compared to the U.S. and Japan.
