South Korea’s central bank, the Bank of Korea (BOK), is escalating its engagement with the cryptocurrency sector by establishing a dedicated Cryptoassets Department. The move signals growing institutional focus on regulating stablecoins and digital currencies, with the renamed Digital Currency Lab transitioning from research to operational status.
The new division, operating under the Financial Settlement Bureau, will monitor crypto market dynamics—particularly Korean won-pegged stablecoins—as part of a broader structural realignment. Analysts interpret this as a proactive measure to address rapid innovation in the stablecoin space while maintaining oversight of systemic risks.
