South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has put the brakes on the Korea Insurance Research and Development Institute's (KIDI) push to expand into new digital asset-based businesses, according to an exclusive report from Aju Business Daily.

The report suggests the delay stems from concerns that the move is premature, as a basic act on digital assets has not yet been enacted. There is also reportedly debate over whether expanding into for-profit ventures aligns with KIDI's original purpose. KIDI maintains that its proposed businesses are being reviewed within the existing regulatory framework and pose no issues.

Hopes that the Bitcoin bear market has ended are growing as a key indicator tracking the market's overall health improves, CoinDesk reported. CryptoQuant's Bitcoin Bull Score Index, which aggregates 10 major on-chain metrics, has entered its neutral zone for the first time since Bitcoin peaked at $126,000 last October.
