CoinCircle News reported, citing The Seoul Economic Daily, that in the “2026 Economic Growth Strategy” released by the South Korean government on July 14, the government said it will advance the second phase of legislation for the “Digital Asset Basic Act” in the second half of this year. It will break down digital-asset business types in detail, establish a regulatory system for business conduct, and provide a legal basis for areas such as the issuance and circulation of stablecoins. The government will also develop a cross-border stablecoin trading regime, support amendments to the Capital Markets Act to introduce spot digital-asset ETFs such as BTC, and plans to launch in 2027 a government bond tokenization pilot connected to CBDC with South Korean banking institutions.

A tokenization pilot for government bonds won’t start until 2027? The pace is half a step slower than Hong Kong, but the CBDC integration is somewhat interesting.

South Korea has finally taken real action: Phase 2 legislation + a stablecoin framework + spot ETFs. The East Asia compliance race has entered a fever-pitch phase.

Take a close look at this policy package: the constitution provides the baseline, cross-border stablecoins, ETFs get the green light, and government bonds go on-chain—these four moves are played quite systematically; it’s just a question of whether the execution layer will end up dragging things down again.
