South Korea Tightens Crypto Chat Regulation: What You Need to Know

a month ago


South Korea is actively moving towards implementing new regulatory measures to control crypto chats, aiming to protect investors from speculative schemes and fraud.

Reasons for Focusing on Crypto Regulation in South Korea

South Korea has traditionally been a hub for cryptocurrency trading, boasting some of the highest adoption rates worldwide. However, the rising level of speculation and possible market manipulation has necessitated new regulatory measures. Lawmakers are focused on introducing norms to regulate informal, often unregulated crypto chats where investment advice may be shared, sometimes with dubious motivations.

Virtual Asset User Protection Act

The proposed amendments are based on the existing Virtual Asset User Protection Act in South Korea. The new law will require crypto chats to register as 'quasi-investment advisory businesses' with the Financial Services Commission. Additionally, it will reinforce prohibitions on misleading practices and increase oversight over crypto exchanges.

Impact on Crypto Exchanges in South Korea

The proposed measures increase oversight of crypto exchanges by requiring them to report any changes to their terms of service. This creates a more robust compliance framework and user protection policies. However, challenges like defining 'speculative crypto chats' and potential industry resistance may arise.

The tightening of regulation for crypto chats in South Korea marks a significant step towards a more secure and transparent environment for investors, potentially leading to a more mature and regulated crypto market in the future.
