South Korea will break a nine-year ban on corporate digital asset investments. According to the latest policy guidance, listed companies are allowed to allocate up to 5% of their capital to mainstream cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH.

What does this shift mean? Corporate funds are officially entering the digital asset space, and the door for institutional allocation is slowly opening in Asia. Looking across the region, while Hong Kong and Japan tighten regulations, South Korea is heading in the opposite direction. The power landscape of the Asian crypto market is quietly reshaping—some regions are closing doors, while others are pulling back curtains to embrace. The era of corporate treasuries is gradually taking shape amid these contrasts.
