According to Ki Young Ju, all three major South Korean presidential candidates have publicly expressed support for the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and allowing institutional investment in cryptocurrencies. As of now, Bitcoin ETFs and institutional participation are banned in South Korea, resulting in 100% of crypto trading volume coming from retail investors (source: Ki Young Ju on Twitter, May 14, 2025). This unified political stance signals a potential regulatory shift that could open the market to institutional capital, significantly increasing liquidity and maturity in the Korean crypto sector. Traders should monitor upcoming policy changes, as institutional inflows historically boost market stability and price discovery, potentially impacting global Bitcoin prices and volume.
