The Bank of Korea requested that the 31 surveyed financial institutions submit their responses to the cryptocurrency risk survey by November 4, 2026.

The Bank of Korea survey includes South Korea's five major banks—KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana, Woori, and NH NongHyup—alongside 13 securities companies and other lenders.

A Bank of Korea official stated that the central bank is conducting the risk survey to establish a baseline understanding of financial institutions' digital asset activities, as regular reporting to the Financial Supervisory Service lacks crypto-specific details.

The Bank of Korea survey includes a scenario asking financial institutions to assess operational risks stemming from a steep decline in Bitcoin prices accompanied by a prolonged slump in trading volume.

The Bank of Korea's survey asks financial firms to evaluate the impact if South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange by market share temporarily suspends operations following a major hack or security breach.
