据报道，韩国金融当局将批准在该国开展的多个海外加密交易所

据报道

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

据报道，韩国的金融当局将批准多个海外加密货币交易所，据称在东亚国家开展业务没有适当的注册。

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.

根据CoinMarketCap的数据，Kucoin是名单上最大的交易所，每日交易量为8.5亿美元。据报道，该交易所以提供衍生品交易和广泛的加密货币而闻名，据报道约为930万用户。

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.

据报道，FIU一直在调查平台，并声称清单中包含的交易所在韩文中运行，并提供营销和客户支持以吸引本地用户。

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

但是，该机构表示，海外交流针对韩国人，而无需提供任何营销或客户支持。

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

FIU说：“我们将采取措施，例如在韩国通信标准委员会的帮助下阻止对其网站的访问。”

“Actions will be taken within this year.”

“行动将在今年内采取。”

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

VAP必须向FIU报告并获得机构的批准，然后才能进行任何类型的金融业务。

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

报告指出：“不这样做将被视为非法业务，并受到刑事惩罚和行政制裁。”

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.

韩国被认为是世界上最大的加密货币市场之一。链分析中，该国在“ 2024年全球加密货币指数”报告中排名第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，韩国的零售加密货币销量达到180亿美元，超过了其股市销量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，韩国的监管现场一直在迫使许多当地交流停止运营。上个月，Coinspeaker报告说，由于监管压力，在过去一年中，有11次加密交易所不得不停止其服务。

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

这使该国的积极交流总数达到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.

根据CMC数据，过去24小时内的大部分加密交易量都来自其两个主要交易所：UPBIT（18.8亿美元）和Bithumb（10.2亿美元）。

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.

即使是韩国最大的加密货币交易所Upbit，也因未能遵守该机构的反洗钱（AML）政策而收到了FIU的停赛通知。
