The latest development in the South Korean crypto crackdown saw the South Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC) tilalom Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) and their employees from trading their platforms’ Native tokens.

The government has introduced this ban using the conflict-of-interest rule, followed by proposing a revision to the Enforcement Decree of the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information. The proposal was further approved in lieu of encouraging and enabling further transparency in the crypto sphere, at a cabinet meeting held on September 28.

„Az összeférhetetlenségi szabály megtiltja a VASP-k számára, hogy saját platformjuk vagy más, kifejezetten kapcsolódó szervezetek által kibocsátott virtuális eszközökkel kereskedjenek, és korlátozza a VASP-k üzemeltetőit és alkalmazottait, hogy saját platformjukon keresztül kereskedjenek virtuális eszközökkel. Az intézkedések célja a felhasználók kárainak megelőzése és a virtuális eszköz -tranzakciók átláthatóságának javítása. ”

A FSC has given one month notice period. The commission noted that VASPs will be required to set forth internal control standards that will regulate insider trading. The time frame to set these standards will be one month from the date of the announcement. Failure to do will result in the suspension of services and will further lead to a fine of up to 100 million won, i.e., $85,000.

“VASPs are required to set up internal standards regarding the conflict-of-interest rule within one month. A failure to implement the rule may be subject to suspension of a business or up to KRW100 million in fine.”
