Korean managers launch crypto ETFs abroad, at home only indirect access

  • Global X Japan listed a stablecoin and tokenization ETF on the Tokyo Stock Exchange
  • Global X Australia manages spot EBTC on bitcoin and EETH on Ethereum
  • Samsung Asset in Hong Kong runs a blockchain ETF and a CME bitcoin futures ETF
  • Korea has no spot crypto ETFs, exposure is via Strategy and Circle in equity ETFs
Why it matters: Korean managers are preparing infrastructure for possible legalization of spot crypto ETFs and tokenization, which could open the domestic market.
