韓國禁止蘋果的App Store的14個移動加密應用程序，目標是Kucoin，MEXC和其他未註冊的VASP

今天，在金融服務委員會（FSC）下運營的韓國金融情報部（FIU），通過阻止對14個移動申請的訪問來加強其監管行動

Today, South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), operating under the Financial Services Commission (FSC), has stepped up its regulatory actions by blocking access to 14 mobile applications on Apple’s App Store. These apps were operated by ‘unregistered’ foreign Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), including exchanges such as KuCoin and MEXC.

如今，在金融服務委員會（FSC）下運營的韓國金融情報部門（FIU）通過阻止蘋果App Store上14個移動應用程序的訪問來加強其監管行動。這些應用程序由“未註冊”的外國虛擬資產服務提供商（VASP）運營，包括Kucoin和MEXC等交易所。

The country’s financial intelligence agency has also threatened to take legal action against any bank that facilitates the use of unregistered crypto platforms.

該國金融情報機構還威脅要對任何有助於使用未註冊的加密平台的銀行採取法律行動。

The move comes after the FIU, in collaboration with Google, restricted 17 unregistered crypto apps on the Google Play Store in late March.

此舉是在FIU與Google合作的FIU之後，在3月下旬的Google Play商店中限制了17個未註冊的加密應用程序。

How Strict Are South Korea’s Crypto Rules?

韓國加密貨幣規則有多嚴格？

The country is known for its strict financial regulations, extending to the crypto industry. South Korea mandates that all VASPs offering services to its residents must register with the FIU, complying with the Specific Financial Transaction Information Reporting and Use Act. Failure to do so could lead to huge penalties, including fines of up to 50 million won (roughly $37,000) or imprisonment for up to five years.

該國以嚴格的財務法規而聞名，並擴展到加密貨幣行業。韓國規定，所有為其居民提供服務的VASP都必須在FIU上註冊，符合特定的金融交易信息報告和使用法。如果不這樣做，可能會導致巨大的處罰，包括高達5000萬韓元（約合37,000美元）的罰款或長達五年的監禁。

Combining the previous crypto app ban on the Google Play Store and today’s Apple App Store, the blocked applications include services from exchanges like KuCoin, MEXC, Phemex, CoinEx, and Poloniex.

結合了Google Play商店和當今Apple App Store上的以前的加密應用程序禁令，包括Kucoin，Mexc，Phemex，Coinex和Poloniex等交易所的服務。

According to the statement released by the South Korean authorities, the aim of blocking these apps is to curtail the operations of unregistered platforms within the country. All these restrictions and regulations are a way for law enforcement to prevent money laundering, protect investors, and maintain market integrity.

根據韓國當局發表的聲明，阻止這些應用程序的目的是減少該國境內未註冊平台的運營。所有這些限制和法規都是執法部門防止洗錢，保護投資者和維持市場誠信的一種方式。

What Compliance Hurdles Do Crypto Firms Face?

加密公司面臨哪些合規障礙？

FIU’s monitoring and enforcement of the rules are likely to continue. Currently, those who wish to use cryptocurrency exchanges must complete the procedures for verifying their accounts using real-name bank accounts. Meanwhile, exchanges are required to set up strong Anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols.

FIU對規則的監控和執行可能會繼續。當前，那些希望使用加密貨幣交易所的人必須完成使用Realname銀行帳戶驗證其帳戶的程序。同時，需要交流來建立強大的反洗錢（AML）並了解您的客戶（KYC）協議。

The mentioned VASPs must obtain ISMS certification from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and they are obligated to follow the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines. This means that VASPs must collect and share specific information about the originator and beneficiary for virtual asset transfers exceeding 1 million won (around $800).

上述VASP必須從韓國互聯網與安全局（KISA）獲得ISMS認證，並且他們有義務遵循金融行動工作組（FATF）指南。這意味著VASP必須收集並共享有關發起人和受益人的特定信息，以超過100萬韓元（約800美元）。

In addition, the country has a ban on institutional crypto trading, but the plan is to slowly remove the limitations during this year. This phased rollout will allow non-profits, universities, law enforcement agencies, and listed companies to trade crypto assets.

此外，該國禁止制度加密交易，但計劃是在今年慢慢消除限制。分階段的推出將允許非營利組織，大學，執法機構和上市公司交易加密資產。
