South Korea weighs excluding USDT and USDC from corporate crypto trading rules

South Korea's Financial Services Commission is reportedly planning to keep USD-based stablecoins like USDT and USDC out of upcoming corporate virtual currency trading guidelines. Under the draft rules, eligible companies could allocate up to 5% of their capital into leading crypto assets via regulated exchanges, while authorities continue to favor KRW-denominated stablecoins over U.S. dollar alternatives. Stablecoin use in Asia remains strong, with regional activity heavily concentrated in markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan.
