The Korean Financial Committee, in the "Basic Law on Digital Assets" submitted to the National Assembly, explicitly designates large exchanges with approximately 11 million users as "core infrastructure" for virtual asset circulation. This statement points to Korea's major virtual asset exchanges, including Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, and Korbit.

The signals released by this policy trend are worth noting—at the government level, there is a move to assign official status to large exchanges, indicating that the regulatory framework is gradually shifting from ambiguity to clarity. Confirming the infrastructure status of leading exchanges also, to some extent, establishes their role as central hubs in the market. For these platforms and their users, this official recognition may bring clearer regulatory expectations.
