South Korea Strengthens Crypto Market Regulation

According to reports, South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is intending to build crypto surveillance tools to periodically assess the risks connected with crypto assets.

FSS Governor Lee Bok-hyun said that the FSS is working on several efforts to address this year's virtual asset market dangers. He said that the crypto sector is projected to grow more closely tied to regular financial markets, but authorities now lack data to detect possible hazards in the crypto industry.

“Securing data is more vital than anything else in order to react to dangers in the virtual asset market,” Lee said. Furthermore, the regulator intends to impose a new disclosure requirement in crypto-related businesses.

The director also said that no financial institution in Korea directly offers crypto-related services and that despite the rise of the virtual asset market, the direct influence on the financial system's stability remains modest. However, if the local cryptocurrency market in Korea develops in size, so will its influence on financial stability.

Following the collapse of Terra-Luna, several nations are implementing thorough regulatory steps to stabilize their markets. Traditional financial markets are getting increasingly linked to the bitcoin sector as well.
