South Korea's Largest Cryptocurrency Exchange Accused of Money Laundering Allegations! Here Are the Details

South Korea's Largest Cryptocurrency Exchange Accused of Money Laundering Allegations! Here Are the Details

South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, has been penalized by the country’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) for alleged anti-money laundering (AML) violations. South Korea’s Upbit Faces Shutdown Over Alleged AML Violations The penalty includes the potential suspension of business operations for up to six months, specifically affecting Upbit's ability to accept new customers.

Potential Impact If the fine is upheld, Upbit could face significant restrictions, including a ban on accepting new customers.

In December 2024, the exchange was the third-largest centralized exchange globally, with monthly trading volumes exceeding $283 billion. However, its operating licence, which expires in October 2024, is still under review, raising concerns about its compliance with local regulations. Upbit and FIU have not yet made a public statement. Further updates are expected as the situation unfolds. *This is not investment advice. Continue Reading: South Korea's Largest Cryptocurrency Exchange Accused of Money Laundering Allegations!
