韓國禁止Apple App Store的14個加密貨幣應用

作為目前的監管計劃的一部分，韓國政府對不受管制的加密貨幣平台邁出了決定性的一步。

The South Korean government continues to take steps against unregulated cryptocurrency platforms as part of its broader regulatory initatives.

韓國政府繼續採取措施反對不受管制的加密貨幣平台，這是其更廣泛的監管初始化的一部分。

Financial authorities in the country have blocked 14 crypto exchange applications from the Apple App Store after discovering that the foreign operators failed to meet South Korean legal requirements. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced the new digital asset oversight plan on April 11.

該國的金融當局在發現外國運營商未能滿足韓國法律要求後，封鎖了Apple App Store的14個加密貨幣申請。金融服務委員會（FSC）於4月11日宣布了新的數字資產監督計劃。

The blocked applications, which include KuCoin and MEXC among others, were operating illegally because they failed to register properly. The move comes as South Korea seeks to protect investment funds while the government is battling financial crimes that occur in the country’s expanding digital currency market.

包括Kucoin和MEXC在內的被阻塞申請非法運行，因為它們未能正確註冊。此舉是因為韓國試圖保護投資基金，而政府正在與該國不斷擴大的數字貨幣市場中發生的金融犯罪作鬥爭。

The regulatory initiative highlights the increasing concern over unregistered platforms. The country has 16 million crypto users, which is about 30 percent of the population.

監管倡議強調了對未註冊平台的日益關注。該國擁有1600萬加密使用者，約佔人口的30％。

The Financial Supervisory Commission issued its ruling soon after Google Play established restrictions on 17 matching apps on March 26. Through these enforcement measures, the country is showing its commitment to making Virtual Asset Service Providers follow established regulations. Unregistered crypto operations expose users to risks, which include both scams and data theft incidents, according to the authorities.

金融監督委員會在3月26日對17個匹配應用程序建立限制後不久就發布了裁決。通過這些執法措施，該國表明了其致力於使虛擬資產服務提供商遵守已建立的法規。當局稱，未註冊的加密操作使用戶面臨風險，包括騙局和數據盜竊事件。

Why South Korea Is Targeting Crypto Apps

為什麼韓國針對加密應用程序

The country maintains rigorous oversight over the regulation of cryptocurrencies throughout its territory. The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) under the Act on Reporting and Use of Specific Financial Transaction Information requires registration from all Virtual Asset Service Providers who operate in South Korea.

該國對整個領土的加密貨幣進行了嚴格的監督。根據《特定財務交易信息》的報告和使用法案，金融情報部門（FIU）要求所有在韓國運營的虛擬資產服務提供商的註冊。

The 14 banned financial exchanges operated against the financial regulations established by South Korea. FIU reported that the unregulated exchanges posed a threat to money laundering operations because of their non-compliant operations. On April 14, the FSC published a report in which it identified these platforms as “unregistered overseas virtual asset operators.”

針對韓國製定的金融法規進行的14次禁止財務交易所。 FIU報告說，由於不合規的運營，不受管制的交流對洗錢業務構成了威脅。 4月14日，FSC發布了一份報告，其中將這些平台確定為“未註冊的海外虛擬資產運營商”。

Penalties for non-compliance are severe. Failure to comply leads to potential imprisonment of up to five years together with maximum fines of 50 million won which equals approximately $35,200. In order to prevent financial loss, the FIU has demanded that platform users verify exchange registration listings before transferring assets from unregistered platforms.

不合規的處罰是嚴重的。不遵守最多可判處五年的監禁，最高罰款為5000萬韓元，相當於35,200美元。為了防止財務損失，FIU要求平台用戶在從未註冊平台轉移資產之前先驗證交換註冊清單。

This situation has previously occurred in the country. The year 2022 began with sixteen unregistered platforms getting blocked, followed by an additional six more blocked platforms during 2023. The recent surge in crypto enforcement measures reflects what experts identify as the main reason for the new crypto ban. Industry analysts predict that the platform will attract 20 million users by the end of this year, according to the Traders Union report.

這種情況以前發生在該國。 2022年始於16個未註冊的平台，隨後在2023年又有了另外六個被阻塞的平台。最近的加密執法措施激增反映了專家認為是新加密禁令的主要原因。根據Traders Union的報告，行業分析師預測，該平台將在今年年底之前吸引2000萬用戶。

A Growing Crypto Market Under Scrutiny

在審查下越來越多的加密市場

The South Korean crypto industry maintains its growth momentum despite growing government supervision. South Korean regulators show interest in digital asset trading because more than 30% of the population takes part in this market. The FSC and FIU maintain security and stability through innovation through their implementation of platform anti-money laundering compliance standards.

儘管政府的監督不斷增加，但韓國加密工業仍保持其增長勢頭。韓國監管機構對數字資產交易表現出興趣，因為超過30％的人口參與了這個市場。 FSC和FIU通過實施平台反洗錢合規標准通過創新來保持安全和穩定。

The Apple Store restriction prevents users from installing new applications and updating existing ones for specific software programs. The applications function for current users, but their performance decreases because the platforms lack updates. Because it operates among the affected platforms, KuCoin is following exchange developments while prioritizing compliance.

Apple Store限制可防止用戶安裝新應用程序，並為特定軟件程序更新現有應用程序。該應用程序可用於當前用戶，但由於平台缺乏更新，其性能會降低。由於它在受影響的平台之間運行，因此Kucoin正在遵循交換開發項目，同時優先考慮合規性。

The restrictions that Google previously established became the building blocks. Google Play eliminated seventeen of the twenty-two unregistered platforms that the FSC had identified. Website blocking has become an official component of the FIU’s approach to enforcing standards compliance from operators.

Google先前建立的限製成為了基礎。 Google Play消除了FSC確定的22個未註冊平台中的17個。網站阻塞已成為FIU方法實施運營商標準的官方組成部分。
