Jan. 13 — Per The Block, South Korea’s Digital Asset Exchange Association (DAXA) has issued a strong statement opposing the government’s consideration of an ownership stake cap for major shareholders of crypto exchanges. In a Tuesday statement, DAXA warned the proposed restriction could “significantly hinder” the country’s digital asset industry and market, adding that any attempt to artificially restructure private firms’ ownership would undermine the emerging sector’s foundation. DAXA is a self-regulatory body representing South Korea’s five major crypto exchanges: Upbit, Bithumb, Korbit, Coinone, and Gopax. Earlier this month, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) proposed limiting major shareholders’ stakes in crypto exchanges to 15%–20% to address potential governance risks from ownership concentration. The proposal has sparked controversy, as it may apply to established firms with existing ownership structures.
