According to market news, South Korean courts plan to adopt new guidelines that will exclude debts incurred from stock or cryptocurrency investments from liquidation calculations, thereby reducing the total amount debtors need to repay creditors in personal restructuring procedures.

The new regulations will be implemented this month in the courts of Daejeon, Daegu, and Gwangju. This is the latest measure by the South Korean government to address the debt issue. By 2025, the country's household debt-to-GDP ratio has risen to 92%, and the government has committed to controlling the growth rate of household debt at 3.8%. The Suwon and Busan courts have begun classifying some cryptocurrency and stock market investment losses as "general property" losses rather than "speculative debts." Seoul Bankruptcy Court Judge Lee Seok-jun called in 2024 for the government to establish more regulations to protect cryptocurrency investors. The Daegu Restructuring Court stated that it would penalize any debtors who "deliberately conceal" cryptocurrency purchases and "disguise them as failed investments."
