🇯🇵🇰🇷Two Asia’s leading digital asset markets move closer to securities-style regulation 🇯🇵On June 11, Japan’s lower house passed a bill that would move crypto regulation from the Payment Services Act to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, effectively treating crypto assets more like stocks and other investment products. ↳ The proposed framework, expected to take effect in 2027, would introduce lower tax treatment, stricter disclosure rules, stock-style insider trading bans, potential crypto ETFs, and significantly higher penalties for unregistered crypto businesses. 🇰🇷South Korea’s finance ministry reportedly took the position that tokenized stocks should be treated as securities rather than virtual assets, potentially bringing them under the existing Capital Markets Act tax framework, as local media reported on June 12. ↳ If the Financial Services Commission adopts the same interpretation in its upcoming July update, tokenized stock transactions, including certain overseas platform transactions, could become taxable as early as the second half of 2026. 💭 Inteliumlaw opinion: Asia is becoming an increasingly attractive market for crypto expansion, but firms should not assume that the regulatory treatment they are used to in their home country will apply there. Crypto firms planning to enter Japan or South Korea should review whether their tokens, listings, ETFs, tokenized equities, or RWA products could be treated as investment instruments and adapt their compliance, tax, and disclosure setup accordingly, or avoid pursuing these jurisdictions. 🗂️ Ready-Made Solutions | 👩💻Tailored Legal Solution
