South Korea plans to recognize crypto businesses as venture companies, granting them access to tax breaks, state funding, and government-backed loans.
The Ministry of SMEs and Startups introduced a proposal to reclassify virtual asset firms, aiming to reverse the rule that restricted crypto startups from the country's venture ecosystem.
The move aligns with President Lee's pro-crypto economic strategy, marking a shift in policy to acknowledge the innovative qualities of crypto companies.
The proposed legislative change, if enacted, could bring industry legitimacy, attract investors, and foster growth in South Korea's blockchain and crypto sectors.
