South Korea's Supreme Court plans to introduce procedures for the seizure and disposal of crypto assets, which are expected to be formally implemented in October.
According to Mars Finance, on July 6th, the South Korean Supreme Court proposed a draft amendment to its civil enforcement rules, aiming to establish procedures for the seizure, attachment, and liquidation of crypto assets, providing a clear legal basis for courts to enforce civil judgments involving cryptocurrencies. According to the draft, after a court issues a seizure order, the debtor will be immediately prohibited from disposing of the relevant crypto assets and must transfer the assets to a court enforcement officer. The seizure will officially take effect upon the officer's receipt. Regarding asset disposal, the court can directly transfer the crypto assets to the creditor according to the value determined by the court, or instruct the enforcement officer to sell the assets. The enforcement officer can transfer the assets to a dedicated account of a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) for sale, or entrust a relevant platform to sell them on their behalf; if necessary, the assets can also be converted into more liquid cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin before liquidation. Furthermore, the draft amendment clarifies preservation measures for crypto assets during litigation, including preliminary attachment and injunctions, to prevent debtors from transferring or concealing crypto assets. The South Korean Supreme Court stated that with the increasing number of civil cases involving crypto assets, it is necessary to improve the relevant enforcement rules. The draft will be open for public comment until August 11, and the revisions are expected to take effect in October this year.
