🚨 SOUTH KOREA APPROVES TIGHTER CRYPTO EXCHANGE RULES 🇰🇷
short trade $BEAT $ZEC $TUT
South Korea’s cabinet has approved a major AML overhaul, expanding its Travel Rule to eliminate previous monetary loopholes.
• Zero-Threshold Travel Rule: The previous 1M KRW (~$700) minimum limit has been scrapped. 100% of inter-exchange transfers between registered VASPs now require full identity-sharing, ending transfer-splitting strategies.
• Strict Wallet & Offshore Oversight: Transfers to external self-custody wallets and international exchanges face risk-tiering. Sender-recipient identity matches are required, and transactions of 10M KRW+ will face additional internal scrutiny.
• Targeting Arbitrage & Tax Evasion: The regulatory timeline signals direct alignment ahead of new VASP registration frameworks and upcoming capital gains taxation.
Market Impact:
• Long-term: Boosts institutional confidence and cleans up bad actors.
• Short-term: Increases compliance costs for local exchanges and creates potential friction for retail traders moving assets offshore.
