South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced on Tuesday that it is launching an investigation into major crypto exchanges in the country, including Upbit, one of the leading trading platforms. The FSS aims to identify and address any illicit or unfair practices within these exchanges.
According to a <a href="https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20240903003500320" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> from Yonhap News Agency, the FSS will look into these crypto trading platforms to identify and address any illicit or unfair practices. This marks the first time the FSS has conducted such a probe since the new Virtual Asset Users Protection Act took effect in July.&nbsp;
The new regulations introduce hefty fines, including potential life imprisonment for those who profit more than 5 billion won ($3.7 million) from illicit crypto activities. The FSS has indicated it has already detected “unusual cases” in two South Korean-won-based exchanges, prompting further investigation, stating:
