The South Korean regulatory agency is considering allowing tech giants to issue their own stablecoins.

2025.11.20 09:08:31

On November 20th, as per DL News, the South Korean regulatory body is mulling over permitting tech behemoths to issue their own stablecoins. An unidentifiable industry source disclosed that the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea is earnestly contemplating a proposal that would enable companies outside the financial sector to issue stablecoins. Certain industry insiders are apprehensive about this. They hold the view that allowing technologically advanced large fintech companies to enter the stablecoin market could erode the competitiveness of banks, resulting in an IT-driven "competition" between banks and tech giants. President Lee Jae-myung had pledged to "open up" the South Korean stablecoin market to domestic participants prior to his election in June. Nevertheless, efforts to fulfill this pledge have thus far been stymied by South Korean banks, which are opposed to non-financial companies having the issuance rights.

Analysis: Bitcoin Indicators Show Profit-Taking Phase Fading, Seller Pressure Nearing Exhaustion

On December 6, CryptoOnchain tweeted that Bitcoin’s SOPR Ratio has fallen to 1.35—its lowest level since early 2024. As Bitcoin pulls back to $89,700, this indicator signals the market’s profit-taking dynamic has fully “reset.” The phase where long-term holders lock in large profits is waning, suggesting selling pressure is nearing exhaustion. Historical data shows that during market cooling phases, an SOPR Ratio drop to this low level often signals a local bottom is forming. A trend reversal at this point could lay the groundwork for the next phase of a healthy uptrend. BlockBeats Note: The Bitcoin SOPR Ratio is a relatively advanced on-chain analysis indicator. Derived from the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), it primarily gauges whether the market is overall in a profit or loss-dominated state, helping assess where the market stands in the bull-bear cycle.
