South Korea Launches Investigation Into Five Major Cryptocurrency Exchanges Operating in the Country! Here Are Those Exchanges

South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has initiated an enforcement process against several international cryptocurrency exchanges operating illegally in the country without proper registration. South Korea's FIU Moves to Sanction Unregistered Crypto Exchanges FIU is also considering blocking access to these platforms in cooperation with the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC). According to local reports, the exchanges included on the sanctions list are BitMEX, KuCoin, CoinW, Bitunix and KCEX. These platforms are accused of violating South Korea’s anti-money laundering (AML) and financial regulations by operating without the necessary approvals. South Korea's regulatory framework requires all crypto exchanges to register with the FIU and adhere to strict AML policies. Platforms that fail to do so are considered illegal operators and could face serious penalties, including access restrictions and criminal charges.
