Financial regulators to pursue derivatives diversification, review digital asset framework

South Korea\'s financial authorities and the Korea Exchange said they will strengthen investor protection while seeking to diversify derivatives products and improve trading conditions to revitalise the market, marking the derivatives market\'s 30th anniversary. A Financial Services Commission official said balance is needed as tighter protection has reduced excessive speculation but may have hurt market vitality. The Korea Exchange outlined plans for weekly and zero-day options, new futures listings and steps toward a 24-hour trading system.
