The closer the index is to 100, the more the market is viewed as being in altcoin season.

South Korea’s Financial Services Commission has delayed for nearly a year its planned rollout of cryptocurrency investment by listed companies and other corporations, even after saying it would allow the move in the second half of last year, News1 reported. According to the report, the issue was not meaningfully reviewed during the parliamentary audit, as major policy matters such as enacting a basic digital asset law and establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins took priority over checking whether already announced financial policies had been carried out. Calls are growing for financial authorities to clearly explain the reason for the delay and provide an implementation timeline, as allowing corporate investment can be pursued through follow-up regulatory steps by the authorities, unlike a basic law that requires legislation by the National Assembly.

South Korea’s National Pension Service allows employees at its fund management division to trade cryptocurrencies freely, with no rules restricting personal holdings or transactions and no related inspections conducted, Money Today reported. Citing data lawmaker Heo Jong-sik of the ruling Democratic Party received from the National Pension Service, the report said the agency has no regulations restricting personal holdings or trading of “virtual currencies, including Bitcoin” by fund management staff.

ARK Invest kept its long-term Bitcoin price target of $1 million for 2030 after reviewing its 2026 outlook, Crypto Briefing reported. It also maintained its previous forecast that the total digital asset market capitalization will reach $28 trillion by 2030, with Bitcoin accounting for about 70% of the market. Despite weak price performance this year, ARK Invest said the long-term growth case remains intact. Lorenzo Valente, head of digital assets at ARK Invest, and CEO Cathie Wood identified Bitcoin’s core functions as digital gold and "permissionless money." In its forecast model, ARK Invest reflected two offsetting changes. As gold’s market capitalization rose 64.5% in 2025, it raised its estimate of the digital gold market Bitcoin could target by 37%. At the same time, it cut its estimate for Bitcoin’s potential penetration as a safe-haven asset in emerging markets by 80% to reflect the spread of stablecoins. The two revisions offset each other, leaving ARK Invest’s 2030 Bitcoin target unchanged at $1 million.
