According to a report by the Korean News Agency, the Chairman of the Financial Services Commission, Lee Ik-yeon, stated that the provisions regarding the shareholding restrictions for major shareholders of virtual asset exchanges in the ongoing "Digital Asset Basic Law" are not influenced by specific individuals, but rather consider the need for exchanges to bear higher public responsibilities after institutionalization.Lee Ik-yeon mentioned during the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee Financial Committee's national governance inspection that currently, South Korean virtual asset exchanges operate under a system of updating declarations every three years. However, after the implementation of the "Digital Asset Basic Law," exchanges will transition to a licensed institutional operation model. He noted that exchanges have infrastructure attributes, thus requiring public nature and responsibility that match their status.Previously, South Korean lawmakers questioned why the original proposal from the Financial Services Commission did not include shareholding restrictions for major shareholders, whether the relevant provisions were influenced by external factors, and pointed out that if enforced, major shareholders and potential acquirers of South Korean exchanges might need to sell shares worth trillions of Korean won.In response, Lee Ik-yeon stated that the government is currently drafting relevant legislation, and the specific content of the shareholding restrictions can be further coordinated during the National Assembly review process, emphasizing that all opinions will be fully reflected in the design. He also mentioned that the government proposal for the "Digital Asset Basic Law" is undergoing final coordination and will be submitted as soon as possible, although no specific timeline has been announced.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, the stock exchange transaction between Upbit's parent company Dunamu and NAVER Pay, a subsidiary of South Korean internet giant NAVER, may have uncertainties. Data disclosed by the Legislative Investigation Office of the Korean National Assembly indicates that the related transaction may simultaneously face the minimum shareholding ratio for subsidiaries stipulated by the Fair Trade Act, as well as the maximum shareholding ratio limit for major shareholders of virtual asset exchanges.Currently, NAVER Pay does not seem to belong to a holding company, but if it becomes a holding company in the future and includes the exchange as a subsidiary, there may be a situation where two conflicting shareholding standards apply simultaneously, necessitating an adjustment of the governance structure. The Korean Fair Trade Act stipulates that a holding company's shareholding ratio in listed subsidiaries must not be less than 30%, and for non-listed subsidiaries, it must not be less than 50%; for venture capital holding companies, it is 20%. Additionally, the second phase of discussions on South Korean virtual asset legislation also involves setting a shareholding limit for major shareholders of exchanges to reduce the concentration of control and the risk of conflicts of interest among specific shareholders.

According to The Edge Malaysia, Malaysia has made comprehensive revisions to the regulations on shareholding and asset declaration for civil servants. The new rules stipulate that public officials can purchase shares in companies registered in Malaysia, but the shareholding ratio must not exceed 5% of the company's paid-up capital or a value of no more than 300,000 ringgit, whichever is lower. Although the upper limit for shareholding remains at 5%, the value limit has been increased from 100,000 ringgit. If officials wish to exceed the shareholding limits, they must apply for approval from designated officials, including the Prime Minister and the Chief Secretary to the Government. The announcement also specifies relevant rules regarding digital assets.Previously, Bloomberg reported in February that the then Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Azam, held 17.7 million shares in a financial services company, valued at nearly 800,000 ringgit. This report sparked public debate in the country.

According to market news, based on a court document from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Elon Musk is in settlement negotiations with the SEC regarding his acquisition of Twitter (now renamed X) stock.Reports indicate that SpaceX's bankers hope to resolve this matter before potentially launching the largest IPO in history. According to regulations, investors who purchase 5% or more of a public company's shares must disclose their ownership within 10 days of the purchase. However, Musk disclosed his holdings 21 days after reaching that threshold. He also submitted a "13G" form applicable to passive investors, rather than using the "13D" form intended for activist investors (including those intending to make a takeover bid). Musk's lawyers told the court earlier this month that, at least to some extent, these settlement negotiations were conducted without the involvement of the SEC enforcement attorneys responsible for the case.

For major exchanges like Upbit and Bithumb, the new restrictions will be implemented after a three-year grace period following the enactment of the legislation, while smaller exchanges will receive an additional three years to adapt.This move will force most of South Korea's major cryptocurrency exchanges to undergo significant restructuring, such as Bithumb Holdings currently controlling over 73% of Bithumb, while Binance holds over 67% of Gopax. According to reports, this ownership cap is expected to be included in South Korea's upcoming "Digital Asset Basic Law," which will also cover key topics such as stablecoin issuance and cryptocurrency ETFs.

In response to the South Korean financial authorities' discussion on limiting the shareholding ratio of major shareholders in virtual asset exchanges to the range of 15% to 20%, several scholars expressed cautious attitudes at the seminar on "The Direction of Institutionalization of Stablecoin Issuance and Trading Infrastructure" held on January 16. Professor Moon Cheol-woo from Sungkyunkwan University's Business School pointed out that forcibly compressing the shareholding ratio of major shareholders may touch upon property rights protection issues, posing a risk of unconstitutionality.He also mentioned that comparing the equity structures of Binance and Coinbase, it is not uncommon globally for founders to maintain a high shareholding ratio, and such restrictive measures may contradict the international trend of emphasizing responsible management.Additionally, Professor Kim Yoon-kyung from Incheon University believes that directly intervening in the equity structure through ratio limits is too radical and may weaken the industry's innovation and development momentum. Several experts at the meeting suggested that regulatory authorities could guide equity dispersion and compliant development by strengthening the qualification review of major shareholders and improving IPO-related systems, rather than adopting mandatory divestiture arrangements.

According to The Block, the Korea Digital Asset Exchange Alliance (DAXA) issued a statement strongly opposing the government's consideration of setting a cap on the shareholding ratio of major shareholders in digital asset exchanges.On Tuesday, DAXA warned in a statement that the proposed restrictions could "severely hinder" the development of the country's digital asset industry and market, and any attempt to artificially alter the equity structure of private enterprises would undermine the foundation of the emerging industry. DAXA is a self-regulatory organization representing the five major cryptocurrency exchanges in Korea—Upbit, Bithumb, Korbit, Coinone, and Gopax.Earlier this month, the Financial Services Commission of Korea proposed to limit the shareholding ratio of major shareholders in cryptocurrency exchanges to between 15% and 20% to address potential governance risks arising from concentrated ownership. The proposal has sparked controversy as it could apply to existing companies with established equity structures.

According to KBS, the Financial Services Commission of South Korea proposed in the "Basic Digital Asset Act" submitted to the National Assembly to limit the shareholding ratio of major shareholders in the country's four largest virtual asset exchanges, suggesting it be set between 15% and 20%, aimed at preventing a few founders and shareholders from controlling the operation of the exchanges.If this proposal is implemented, Dunamu Chairman Song Ji-heung may be required to forcibly sell about 10% of his shares. Platforms such as Bithumb and Coinone will also face significant changes in governance structure, raising concerns in the industry about excessive government regulation.
