Following the successive approvals in the United States and Hong Kong, South Korea's Bitcoin spot ETF listing plans are also accelerating, and new products are expected to be launched within this year. This move is highly significant, marking a gradual shift in major Asian economies' attitudes toward digital assets.

More notably, South Korea's new digital asset law imposes stricter constraints on stablecoins. This new framework requires stablecoins to be backed by 100% reserve collateral and explicitly guarantees users' redemption rights, effectively placing a tight leash on stablecoins to prevent risks at the source.

Beyond the financial sector, South Korea has an even more ambitious goal — to migrate 25% of its fiscal operations to blockchain by 2030. This mainly refers to digital tokens supported by bank deposits. It may sound abstract, but the practical application scenarios are quite clear: such as automated payment systems for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, public consumption settlements, and more. This approach can significantly shorten payment cycles and reduce fraud risks. In simple terms, South Korea is shifting blockchain from hype to practical application.

South Korea's recent moves are quite impressive; the 100% reserve stablecoin strategy really exposes a lot of hidden issues. Finally, a country taking blockchain seriously, not just paying lip service. 25% of fiscal operations on-chain—if this truly materializes, it will be incredible. I've said it before, trading cryptocurrencies is a small matter; real value lies in applications. South Korea is really playing a big game. When these few Asian countries unite, traditional finance will be in tears. The "tightening spell" analogy is spot on, haha. The key is that the actual scenarios are clear, unlike some projects that just boast with PPT slides.

Korea's move this time is really ruthless; the 100% reserve system directly froze those worthless tokens.

Korea is really taking action this time, not just talking about it on paper.

Korea's move is really ruthless, with the 100% reserve rule directly freezing those air coins. But the plan to bring 25% of fiscal services on-chain by 2030? I feel like this goal is a bit aggressive... Let's wait until the ETF launches; the real test is just beginning.

South Korea's move is brilliant. 100% reserve backing for stablecoins is the right way, and it should have been done long ago.

Bullish signals, brother. Korea is about to go all in. The Asian delta has broken through, and the bottom-fishing opportunity has arrived. --- 100% collateralized stablecoins? Now the short sellers have no way out. Regulation is truly becoming standardized. I’ve always believed that faith in this won’t be wrong. --- On-chain finance in 2030... Damn, this pattern. Bitcoin spot ETF is just the beginning. The last bottom-fishing window is really closing. --- Korea is getting serious. This is more exciting than the US approving an ETF. Holding steady and not acting is the winning mindset. Going all in and waiting for the wind. --- The real application scenarios are the core. It’s not just hype anymore. Blockchain is truly entering the infrastructure layer. My decision to increase positions was correct. --- 100% reserves directly broke the routines of those risky tokens. Once Korea’s framework is in place, getting your investment back is just around the corner. Missing this wave and not going long would be a big mistake.

This move by Korea is indeed ruthless; 100% reserves directly cut off the way for those "air coins."

South Korea's move is really tough; 100% reserve collateral directly freezes those air coins. Stablecoins are finally going to be regulated; it was long overdue. Just looking at EV charging and these application scenarios, they are much more reliable than just hype about coins. Asia is truly waking up one by one.
