The Bank of Korea (BOK), which has maintained its stance that won-denominated stablecoins should be issued primarily by banks, has cited legislative precedents from public infrastructure regulation, such as the Broadcasting Act and the Newspaper Act, as the legal basis for its position, News1 reported. According to materials the BOK submitted to the office of Democratic Party lawmaker Park Min-gyu, the central bank pointed to Article 8 of the Broadcasting Act and Article 18 of the Newspaper Act. These laws prevent a single business operator from holding more than a 49% stake in a media company, which the BOK is using to justify its proposal for a "50% plus one share" bank ownership requirement for stablecoin issuers. Critics argue that citing these media laws, which are seen as stuck in a public broadcasting framework and out of step with global media convergence, as a basis for bank-centric regulation is a logical leap.

U.S. investment bank TD Cowen has identified a value investment opportunity in crypto-related stocks Nakamoto (NAKA), SharpLink Gaming (SBET), and Strive (ASST), despite their share prices having fallen by over 90%. According to CoinDesk, TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza explained that these stocks could outperform Bitcoin ETFs if cryptocurrency prices recover and the companies continue to expand their token holdings per share. He noted that these firms are implementing strategies such as purchasing Bitcoin and Ethereum and generating revenue from staking. Vitanza suggested these approaches could yield better returns than spot crypto funds and help cover costs, particularly during poor market conditions. Based on the assumption that Bitcoin will reach approximately $140,000 and Ethereum will hit about $3,650 by the end of 2026, Vitanza set price targets of $1 for Nakamoto, $16 for SharpLink, and $26 for Strive, assigning a "Buy" rating to the stocks.
