韩国的金融情报分析部门（FIU）正在打击加密货币交流

韩国的金融情报分析部门（FIU）大大提高了该国境内和国际运营的加密货币交易所的执法。

South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIU) is intensifying its crackdown on cryptocurrency exchanges operating within and outside the country.

韩国的金融情报分析部门（FIU）正在加强其对国家内部和外部运营的加密货币交换的镇压。

As reported by Block Mena, the FIU is putting several trading platforms under scrutiny for potential violations of regulatory compliance. This move showcases the unit’s hardline stance against crypto-related service providers.

正如Block Mena报道的那样，FIU正在对几个可能违反监管合规行为的行为进行审查。此举展示了该部门针对加密相关服务提供商的硬线立场。

The FIU is also targeting major unregistered overseas exchanges, including BitMEX and CoinW, for offenses linked to the country’s Specific Financial Transaction Information Reporting and Use Act.

FIU还针对包括BITMEX和COINW在内的主要未注册的海外交易所，涉及与该国特定的财务交易信息报告和使用法有关的罪行。

Authorities are planning to block access to these non-compliant platforms for Korean users, aiming to curb cryptocurrency trading in domains lacking the necessary legal framework. Another foreign exchange was also reportedly targeted in this action.

当局计划阻止韩国用户对这些不合规平台的访问，旨在遏制缺乏必要法律框架的域名的加密货币交易。据报道，这一行动中还针对另一个外汇。

This development has raised concerns among market participants regarding restricted access to widely used trading platforms.

这一发展引起了市场参与者对限制使用广泛使用交易平台的关注。

Upbit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea, has also faced regulatory hurdles. The FIU reportedly issued a suspension notice against Upbit in January for alleged breaches of Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.

Upbit是韩国最大的加密货币交流之一，也面临监管障碍。据报道，FIU因涉嫌违反您的客户（KYC）法规而在一月份针对UPBIT发出了暂停通知。

Moreover, Dunamu, the exchange’s partner firm which manages Upbit’s operations in South Korea, received a three-month suspension notice in late February due to a violation of the obligation to prevent transactions with unnotified virtual asset operators.

此外，管理UPBIT在韩国运营的交易所合作公司Dunamu在2月下旬收到了三个月的停赛通知，这是由于违反了防止与未注明的虚拟资产运营商进行交易的义务。

In a separate development, South Korean prosecutors raided the offices of Bithumb on March 20th following allegations of significant financial misconduct by former CEO Kim Dae-sik.

在另一项发展中，韩国检察官在3月20日袭击了Bithumb的办公室，此前曾指控前首席执行官Kim Dae-Sik涉嫌重大财务不当行为。

Prosecutors suspect Kim embezzled a large sum of funds from the exchange, including a 3 billion Korean won (more than $2 million) apartment lease deposit, to invest in real estate.

检察官怀疑金从交易所挪用了大量资金，其中包括30亿韩元（超过200万美元）的公寓租金，以投资房地产。

The funds were allegedly used to purchase an apartment in Gangnam, Seoul, and a villa on Jeju Island.

据称，这些资金用于购买在江南，首尔和济州岛的别墅中的公寓。

Earlier this month, the Democratic Party was asked to urge the Bank of Korea to discuss the potential benefits of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, an idea U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly mulled in 2019.

本月早些时候，民主党被要求敦促韩国银行讨论战略比特币储备的潜在利益，这是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政府在2019年进行审议的想法。

However, the central bank quickly shot down the idea due to the cryptocurrency’s volatility. Bitcoin surged to an all-time high of $109,114.88 two months ago and is currently trading at $84,106.10, down 22% from those levels.

但是，由于加密货币的波动，中央银行迅速降低了这个想法。两个月前，比特币飙升至历史最高点109,114.88美元，目前的交易价格为84,106.10美元，比这些水平下降了22％。
