Korea Tones Down 20% Crypto Exchange Stake Ban as Regulators Seek Governance ‘Middle Ground’

South Korean regulators and the ruling party have agreed to impose a 20% ownership cap on major shareholders of cryptocurrency exchanges, following months of debate. The policy includes a three-year grace period for large platforms like Upbit and Bithumb, and up to six years for smaller exchanges. The cap, part of the broader Digital Asset Basic Act, aims to limit founder control while allowing limited exceptions for new businesses. Opposition from industry groups and some lawmakers may still affect the bill's final passage.
