Južnokorejski predpisi Crypto se približujejo tujim borzam, ko se bliža rok do septembra

Korean Watchdog, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced that any Foreign Cryptocurrency exchanges focused on Korean investors, must follow the Anti Money Laundering (AML) guidelines, and register with South Korea’s anti-money laundering body. The failure to do so shall result in a ban from operating in Korea and criminal charges, along with a hefty fine.

Over 27 foreign cryptocurrency exchanges that have business operations targeting Korean people have received notices from the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (KFIU) to register with it, by the latest Korean AML regulations. Along with registering with the KFIU, cryptocurrency exchanges are also required to acquire a certificate in information security from South Korea. However, FSC has informed that crypto exchanges have yet to obtain the certain and that without it they shall face the consequences as mentioned in the latest policy. According to the notices, the grace period will end on 25^th September.

“If they continue to operate without registration, they will be subject to up to five years of imprisonment or a maximum fine of 50 million won (US$43,455),” the FSC rekel.

Earlier in March, the new crypto predpisi in Korea came into effect, with a six-month grace period, up till September. Eun Sung-soo, chairman of South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced that any crypto exchange that operates in the Korean region, will be mandated by FSC’s AML regulations. Foreign crypto exchanges will be required to get authorization from the FSC’s AML watchdog, i.e., the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit.

Domače borze

Moreover, the new regulations will also be implemented on domače borze. All exchanges, Foreign or Domestic will be required to issue real-name accounts in Banks, under tightly knit guidelines to prevent money laundering in the Korean region. Furthermore, Banks will be responsible to access the transparency, business risks, and the possibility of criminal activity of these crypto exchanges.

Najnovejši predpisi bodo vplivali na več kot 100 majhnih borz kriptovalut v Južni Koreji. Prej so te borze uporabljale neprozorne račune, ki so jim omogočali, da so dobili več vlagateljev. Zdaj pa jih bodo predpisi omejevali pri registraciji pod računi s pravimi imeni, zaradi česar bi lahko mnoge od teh borz zaprte.
