Liên minh sàn giao dịch Hàn Quốc phản đối đề xuất hạn chế cổ phần của chính phủ: có thể gây cản trở nghiêm trọng sự phát triển của ngành

【区块律动】Korea’s Digital Asset Trading Platform Alliance (DAXA) recently caused a stir. The government plans to set a cap for major shareholders of exchanges—holding shares between 15% and 20%, and DAXA immediately voiced opposition.

This alliance represents the heavyweight players in Korea’s crypto scene—Upbit, Bithumb, Korbit, Coinone, and Gopax—all standing behind it. Their stance is firm: stop messing around, such actions will “seriously hinder” the development of the domestic digital asset industry.

The issue is that the government’s logic is to prevent governance risks caused by excessive concentration of ownership. The idea is good, but the reality is harsh—this restriction might be imposed on already established companies. DAXA believes that any human intervention to alter the ownership structure of private enterprises could undermine the foundation of the emerging industry. This is no small matter, involving financing, control rights, strategic direction, and a host of other issues.

The game between regulation and innovation is always ongoing. The Korean government wants risk control, while the exchange alliance seeks survival space. How this battle unfolds is worth watching.
