According to South Korean media outlet The Pioneer Economy, Korean financial regulators, when drafting guidelines to allow listed companies to invest in cryptocurrencies, tend to exclude USDT, USDC, and other dollar-pegged stablecoins from the permitted list. The regulatory authorities believe that since South Korea's Foreign Exchange Transactions Act does not currently recognize stablecoins as legal foreign payment methods, allowing corporate investment in stablecoins within the guidelines would conflict with the existing legal framework. Although some companies engaged in cross-border trade hope to use stablecoins for currency hedging and real-time settlement, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) has preliminarily decided to initially open only non-stablecoin assets with a market cap of the top 20 (such as BTC, ETH), and investment limits may be restricted to within 5% of the company's own capital.
