South Korea’s FSC says 25 people were charged in two years of crypto market abuse cases, with account-freeze powers and whistleblower rewards next

South Korea’s Financial Services Commission said it has referred more than 30 crypto unfair-trading cases to prosecutors and seen 25 people charged since the Virtual Asset User Protection Act took effect on July 19, 2024. In a two-year enforcement review released on July 20, the regulator said average illegal gains came to about 1.4 billion won per case, or roughly $1 million. The main violations cited were price manipulation and trades induced through false social media posts. The FSC also outlined the next legislative step under the second phase of the Digital Asset Act. The proposal would give the regulator authority to freeze accounts tied to suspected illegal trading and create a whistleblower reward program with protections for internal informants. At the same time, the agency said it has upgraded its market surveillance system with AI-enhanced modules, second-level transaction analysis, and automated detection of suspicious abnormal activity. The regulator said the new tools are meant to respond to increasingly sophisticated cross-border manipulation tactics and support investor protection.

South Korea Opens Sanctions Process Against Dunamu as FSC Plans AI Surveillance for Crypto Markets

South Korean regulators took center stage in the past 24 hours after launching a sanctions process against Dunamu, the operator of Upbit, and outlining a broader push to tighten oversight of the virtual asset market with artificial intelligence. According to Yonhap, authorities have sent an inspection report to Dunamu following a 44.5 billion won hacking incident, starting a formal sanctions procedure whose outcome remains uncertain because there is no direct penalty rule for hacks or computer system failures under the current framework. Separately, KBS reported that South Korea’s Financial Services Commission said it has completed about 40 investigations into unfair virtual asset trading in the two years since the Virtual Asset User Protection Act took effect, and has referred or reported more than 30 cases to judicial authorities. The FSC said the next phase of oversight will include an AI-based monitoring system capable of real-time market surveillance, second-level price manipulation analysis, and automated detection of suspicious accounts and trading ranges. The broader market update also included missed U.S. stablecoin rulemaking deadlines under the GENIUS Act, a South Korean roadmap for won internationalization and won-denominated stablecoins, fresh liquidation data from Coinglass, new figures on Bitcoin mining concentration, tokenized stock activity, and security developments involving Ostium.

South Korea plans AI-based virtual asset surveillance after reporting more than 30 crypto cases in two years

South Korea’s Financial Services Commission said it has completed about 40 investigations into unfair trading in the virtual asset market since the Virtual Asset User Protection Act took effect two years ago, and has referred or reported more than 30 cases to judicial authorities. Most of those cases involved price manipulation. The regulator said the cases it uncovered included short-term manipulation through borrowed API keys, price-rigging with the cooperation of token issuers, and large-scale whale manipulation tied to coordinated trading across overseas exchanges. It also described fraud cases involving false information spread on social media to induce purchases and manipulative arbitrage linked to price interactions between USDT and BTC markets on exchanges. So far, authorities have transferred 25 suspected offenders to prosecutors or other judicial bodies. Average illegal gains per case were about 1.4 billion won. South Korea now plans to add an AI-based oversight system with real-time monitoring, second-level price manipulation analysis, and automatic detection of suspicious accounts and trading ranges, while also pursuing future legislation on freezing illicit profit accounts and rewarding whistleblowers who report unfair trading.
