意见：据报道，韩国当局正在考虑阻止可能在不遵守要求的情况下运行的加密交流平台

South Korean financial authorities are reportedly looking into blocking crypto exchange platforms that may have operated without adhering to the requirements set by the country’s financial regulator.

据报道，韩国金融当局正在考虑阻止可能在不遵守该国金融监管机构设定的要求的情况下运行的加密交流平台。

Local media Hankyung reported on March 21 that the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of the Financial Services Commission is considering sanctions against crypto exchanges for allegedly operating in the country without reporting as an operator to the appropriate regulators.

当地媒体Hankyung于3月21日报道说，金融服务委员会的金融情报部门（FIU）正在考虑针对涉嫌在该国运营的加密货币交易所的制裁，而无需向适当监管机构报告运营商。

South Korean financial authorities require crypto exchanges to report to regulators as virtual asset service providers (VASPs) under the country’s Specified Financial Information Act.

韩国金融当局要求加密货币交易所报告根据该国指定的财务信息法，作为虚拟资产服务提供商（VASP）向监管机构报告。

The FIU is investigating a list of exchanges and is conducting consultations with related agencies. The regulator is also considering sanctions, such as blocking access to the exchanges, as they begin to prepare countermeasures.

FIU正在调查交流清单，并正在与相关机构进行咨询。监管机构还在考虑制裁，例如阻止对交易所的访问，因为他们开始准备对策。

The regulator will reportedly crackdown on exchanges allegedly providing services to South Koreans without the appropriate VASP reports. The exchanges in the FIU’s list reportedly provided marketing and customer support to Korean investors without going through the country’s compliance process.

据报道，监管机构将镇压据称在没有适当VASP报告的情况下向韩国提供服务的交流。据报道，FIU列表中的交流为韩国投资者提供了营销和客户支持，而无需进行该国的合规过程。

Local media Hankyung mentioned that the crypto exchange KuCoin was on the list along with other crypto platforms. In a statement, a KuCoin representative told Cointelegraph:

当地媒体Hankyung提到Crypto Exchange Kucoin与其他加密平台同在。在一份声明中，一位Kucoin代表告诉Cointelegraph：

“KuCoin has not yet applied for a VASP registration in South Korea. We are closely monitoring the developments in the market and will consider applying for registration if the conditions are suitable for our business model.”

“ Kucoin尚未在韩国申请VASP注册。我们正在密切监视市场的发展，如果条件适合我们的业务模式，我们将考虑申请注册。”

The report comes amid a wider crackdown on foreign crypto exchanges operating in the country without the proper registration.

该报告是在更广泛的镇压外国加密货币交易所在没有适当注册的情况下进行的。

Earlier in March, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office launched an investigation into Binance for allegedly continuing to provide services to South Korean investors despite being ordered to halt operations in 2021. The regulator reportedly ordered Binance to cease operations as it failed to register as a VASP.

3月初，首尔南部地区检察官办公室开展了一项调查，尽管据称尽管被命令在2021年停止运营，但据称仍在向韩国投资者提供服务。据报道，该监管机构下令停止Binance，因为该公司未能注册为VASP，因此停止了业务。

The FIU is considering measures to block access to the exchanges included in the list. An FIU official said in the report that they are currently consulting with the Korea Communications Standards Commission, the regulator in charge of the internet, on how they can block access to the exchanges.

FIU正在考虑阻止访问列表中包含的交易所的措施。 FIU官员在报告中说，他们目前正在咨询韩国通信标准委员会，负责互联网的监管机构，如何阻止他们可以阻止对交易所的访问。

If exchanges don’t comply, their business will be considered illegal and subject to criminal penalties and administrative sanctions.

如果交易所不遵守，他们的业务将被视为非法，并受到刑事处罚和行政制裁。

Apart from foreign exchanges, South Korean exchanges are also facing scrutiny over suspicions and rumors of financial misconduct.

除了外交交流外，韩国交流还对怀疑和金融不当行为的谣言也面临审查。

On March 20, prosecutors raided Bithumb following suspicions that its former CEO, Kim Dae-sik, embezzled company funds to purchase an apartment. The authorities suspect that the exchange and its executive may have violated some financial laws during the apartment purchase. However, Bithumb responded that Kim already took out a loan to repay the funds.

3月20日，检察官因怀疑其前首席执行官金·西克（Kim Dae-Sik）的怀疑，突袭了贝特哈特（Bithumb），挪用了公司资金购买公寓。当局怀疑该交易所及其高管在购买期间可能违反了一些财务法。但是，Bithumb回答说，Kim已经借了一笔贷款来偿还资金。

In addition, rumors of intermediaries getting paid to list projects on Bithumb and Upbit surfaced. Citing anonymous sources, Wu Blockchain said projects claimed to have paid intermediaries millions to get listed on the exchanges.

此外，关于中介机构获得报酬的谣言列出了Bithumb和Upbit上的项目。吴区链援引匿名消息来源说，声称已向中介机构支付了数百万美元的项目，以在交易所上市。

Upbit responded, demanding the media outlet to disclose the list of digital asset projects that paid brokerage fees.

Upbit做出了回应，要求媒体泄露支付经纪费的数字资产项目清单。
