The South Korean regulatory crackdown on cryptocurrency has put major pressure on crypto trading and exchanges, increasing traders' uncertainties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the action comes as South Korean officials work to improve regulations under the new digital asset law, which goes into force later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts believe the guidelines will present considerable hurdles to several altcoins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea Tightens Crypto Trading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On July 4, the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea announced the implementation of a system to improve oversight and monitor odd crypto trading activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, crypto exchanges are required to submit data and information to the system upon the implementation of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act on July 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While South Korea's Digital Asset Exchange Alliance (DAXA) denies mass delisting<\/a>, the cryptocurrency authority has initiated a 6-month review of over 1,300 digital assets to ensure compliance with the legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Younghoon Mok, senior foreign attorney and partner with Lee & Ko in Seoul, said FSS guidelines \u201ccould pose significant challenges for altcoins that cannot swiftly comply with regulatory requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, red flags that could result in severe penalties include trading over normal volume and price ranges, large transactions, and relatively sluggish execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Global Crypto Market Recovery Could Delay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Korean won \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>has recently surpassed the US dollar as the most commonly used currency for crypto trading, cementing South Korea's position as a prominent player in the global crypto market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, with the majority of trading occurring in smaller currencies rather than Bitcoin, approximately 10% of the country's population is exposed to digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent report by Korea Forbes indicates that Upbit<\/a> and Bithumb are the most highly ranked crypto apps in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per Kaiko, the trading volumes have decreased across the major crypto exchanges in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
