By bringing crypto exchanges and businesses under the law, South Korea has risen to become the world's leading crypto regulatory nation\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country was one of the first to implement the most recent anti-money laundering (AML) legislation, which resulted in the shutdown of hundreds of small and medium-sized cryptocurrency exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea is planning to outlaw all virtual currency transactions coming from anonymous sources in order to combat the use of crypto for illegal activities and money laundering. A new “Travel Solutions Rule” has been proposed by the country's regulatory agency.<\/p>\n\n\n

Korean Gov: I'm going to prohibit withdrawals from Korean exchanges to non-KYC'd wallets like Metamask by March 2022.<\/p>\n

Degens: So no more DeFi, NFT, DAO for Koreans? \ud83d\ude1e<\/p>\n

Korean Gov: No exceptions. Every blockchain wallet must be KYC'd.<\/p>\n

From March 2022, the new Travel Solution Rule will prevent withdrawals from Korean exchanges to non-KYC'd wallets like Metamask<\/a>. There will be no exceptions after the deadline, according to the regulatory office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the future, when exchanges transmit virtual assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, \u2018who sent and who received\u2019 records are kept. Transfers will only be possible between \u2018licensed exchanges\u2019.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to local reports, 14 South Korean exchanges are yet to apply for a license under the new restrictions. The four biggest crypto platforms, Upbit, Korbit, Coinone, and Bithumb, are among the fourteen exchanges. The new measures, according to the regulatory agency, will prevent tax avoidance<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
