Part 2: Navigating the Legal Process for Cryptocurrency Listings in Korea
In the previous post, we discussed the general steps to list your coin on a Korean exchange. Now, let’s focus on the legal requirements and the documentation that play a critical role in ensuring that your listing process is smooth and successful.
The legal opinion letter is an essential document for most cryptocurrency listings in Korea, especially if you’re conducting an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). The opinion letter must be written by a legal expert who assesses whether the coin complies with local laws, including confirming that:
- The coin does not violate AML or KYC regulations.
- The coin is not classified as a security under the Capital Markets Act. If the coin is found to be a security, it will be subject to strict regulations and potential delisting from the exchange.
The legal expert must provide a thorough analysis of the coin's technical framework, business structure, and potential risks, making sure the coin will not violate any local regulations.
The Korean cryptocurrency market is known for its strict regulatory environment, and failing to meet the necessary legal requirements can lead to delisting or even legal penalties. It is vital to work with a legal team that understands the nuances of Korean law and the unique risks of cryptocurrency projects.
