South Korea's Crypto Industry Warns of AML Rule Changes Impact
- Compliance Challenges Intensify: The Digital Asset eXchange Alliance (DAXA) warns that proposed Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules will require virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to report all overseas transfers exceeding 10 million won (approximately $6,800) as suspicious transactions, potentially increasing suspicious transaction reports from 63,000 last year to over 5.4 million, significantly complicating compliance efforts.
- Industry Pushback: DAXA, representing 27 registered VASPs including the five major exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax), opposes the requirement to verify customer information accuracy, arguing that these additional obligations are not clearly defined in the underlying law, which could lead to operational confusion.
- Regulatory Tensions: The pushback highlights the growing tension between South Korea's efforts to tighten crypto AML oversight and the industry's concerns that compliance rules are being expanded beyond reasonable processing capabilities, with many fearing that the new regulations will significantly increase compliance costs and impact market stability.
- Ongoing Legal Challenges: South Korean exchanges are already contesting AML-related sanctions imposed by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) in court, with Bithumb and Coinone receiving temporary relief, indicating a strong industry resistance to regulatory measures and the ongoing nature of legal battles.
