據報導

Financial authorities in South Korea will reportedly sanction multiple overseas crypto exchanges for allegedly operating in the East Asian country without proper registration.

據報導，韓國的金融當局將批准多個海外加密貨幣交易所，據稱在東亞國家開展業務沒有適當的註冊。

The Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of the Financial Services Commission is planning to take action against several centralized exchanges, including BitMEX, KuCoin, CoinW, Bitunix, and KCEX, for allegedly providing financial services to South Koreans without registering as Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) under the Specific Financial Information Act, local outlet Hankyung reports.

KuCoin is the largest exchange on the list with a daily trading volume of $850 million, according to data from CoinMarketCap. The exchange, which is known for offering derivatives trading and a wide range of cryptocurrencies, reportedly has around 9.3 million users.

根據CoinMarketCap的數據，Kucoin是名單上最大的交易所，每日交易量為8.5億美元。據報導，該交易所以提供衍生品交易和廣泛的加密貨幣而聞名，據報導約為930萬用戶。

The FIU has reportedly been investigating the platforms and claims that the exchanges included in the list have been operating in Korean and providing marketing and customer support to attract local users.

據報導，FIU一直在調查平台，並聲稱清單中包含的交易所在韓文中運行，並提供營銷和客戶支持以吸引本地用戶。

However, the agency said that the overseas exchanges targeted South Koreans without providing any marketing or customer support.

但是，該機構表示，海外交流針對韓國人，而無需提供任何營銷或客戶支持。

“We will take measures such as blocking access to their websites with the help of the Korea Communications Standards Commission,” FIU said.

FIU說：“我們將採取措施，例如在韓國通信標準委員會的幫助下阻止對其網站的訪問。”

“Actions will be taken within this year.”

“行動將在今年內採取。”

VAPs must report to the FIU and receive the agency’s approval before engaging in any kind of financial operations.

VAP必須向FIU報告並獲得機構的批准，然後才能進行任何類型的金融業務。

“Failure to do so will be considered illegal business and subject to criminal punishment and administrative sanctions,” the report noted.

報告指出：“不這樣做將被視為非法業務，並受到刑事懲罰和行政制裁。”

South Korea is considered to be one of the largest crypto markets in the world. The country ranked 19th in the “2024 Global Crypto Adoption Index” report by Chainalysis.

韓國被認為是世界上最大的加密貨幣市場之一。鏈分析中，該國在“ 2024年全球加密貨幣指數”報告中排名第19。

In December 2024, South Korea’s retail crypto trading volume reached the $18 billion mark, overtaking its stock market volume by 22%.

2024年12月，韓國的零售加密貨幣銷量達到180億美元，超過了其股市銷量22％。

However, the regulatory scene in South Korea has been forcing many local exchanges to cease operations. Last month, Coinspeaker reported that 11 crypto exchanges had to halt their services over the past year due to regulatory pressure.

但是，韓國的監管現場一直在迫使許多當地交流停止運營。上個月，Coinspeaker報告說，由於監管壓力，在過去一年中，有11次加密交易所不得不停止其服務。

This brought the total number of active exchanges in the country to 31.

這使該國的積極交流總數達到31。

Most of the crypto trading volume in South Korea over the past 24 hours came from its two major exchanges: Upbit ($1.88 billion) and Bithumb ($1.02 billion), according to CMC data.

根據CMC數據，過去24小時內的大部分加密交易量都來自其兩個主要交易所：UPBIT（18.8億美元）和Bithumb（10.2億美元）。

Even Upbit, the largest crypto exchange in South Korea, received a suspension notice from the FIU in January for failing to comply with the agency’s anti-money laundering (AML) policies.

即使是韓國最大的加密貨幣交易所Upbit，也因未能遵守該機構的反洗錢（AML）政策而收到了FIU的停賽通知。
