加密货币交易所 Upbit 可能因不遵守该国的洗钱和了解你的客户 (KYC) 义务而在韩国面临制裁

据报道，韩国最大的交易所之一 Upbit 上周收到了金融服务委员会下属金融信息分析研究所 (FIU) 的制裁通知。

South Korean crypto exchange Upbit may face sanctions for failing to comply with the country’s money laundering and know your customer (KYC) obligations, a report says.

一份报告称，韩国加密货币交易所 Upbit 可能因未能遵守该国的反洗钱和了解你的客户 (KYC) 义务而面临制裁。

According to a report by local news site Maeil on Monday, the sanctions were notified to Upbit by the Financial Information Analysis Institute (FIU) under the Financial Services Commission last week.

据当地新闻网站 Maeil 周一报道，上周金融服务委员会下属的金融信息分析研究所（FIU）向 Upbit 通报了制裁措施。

If the decision is confirmed, Upbit could be barred from new customer related business for up to six months.

如果该决定得到确认，Upbit 可能会在六个月内被禁止从事新客户相关业务。

“The decision would essentially restrict new customers from transferring virtual assets outside the exchange for a certain period of time,” Upbit told Maeil.

Upbit 告诉 Maeil：“这一决定本质上会限制新客户在一段时间内将虚拟资产转移到交易所之外。”

CoinDesk reached out to Upbit and the Financial Services Commission for comment.

CoinDesk 联系了 Upbit 和金融服务委员会征求意见。

The exchange will submit an opinion regarding the sanctions to Upbit to the FIU by the 20th, and the FIU will then review the sanctions.

交易所将于20日前向金融情报机构提交有关对Upbit制裁的意见，金融情报机构随后将对制裁进行审查。

Earlier this year, South Korean authorities vowed to scrutinize exchanges more closely following the collapse of stablecoin issuer Terra, which brought renewed attention to the regulatory oversight of crypto exchanges.

今年早些时候，在稳定币发行商 Terra 倒闭后，韩国当局誓言要更严格地审查交易所，这让人们重新关注加密货币交易所的监管。
