Investors are agitated by the recent South Korean cryptocurrency ban. The country has an extensive crypto market but cryptocurrency trading isn't yet legalized. Kim Dong Yu (vice chairman) reiterated that the government does not recognize digital currency as currencies or financial instruments and that it cannot guarantee its value. Financial authorities in the country have been debating comprehensive regulations to curb illegal activities, including a ban on all initial coin offerings (ICOs).
The new law will prohibit all foreigners from trading cryptocurrencies in Korea. This includes citizens and non-residents, as well as "kyopo," or ethnic Koreans who hold foreign citizenship. The government also bans minors and nonresidents from participating in crypto trading. Three government-owned banking institutions are conducting risk assessments on the 'big four' largest crypto trading platforms. Smaller exchanges will now be forced to abide by the ban.
South Korea has said it won't ban cryptocurrency, but that isn’t likely to change. The move must be approved by the majority of 297 members of National Assembly before it is effective, according to the presidential office. This approval process can take many months, if it is not years. It is nonetheless a positive sign that the future of South Korea's crypto industry will be bright. So far, it is unclear what the government's plans are for the industry.
Despite the South Korean cryptocurrency ban, the sector is still booming. The country's regulator stated that the bubble could burst in the future. Cedric Jeanson is the CEO of BitSpread - a bitcoin trading platform. He believes the new regulation is a positive move. He argued that the country's regulators must oversee and control ICOs in order to protect investors. Although the South Korean government is unlikely to harm its economy, he hopes to protect its consumers.
It is important to understand the reasons South Korea has banned cryptocurrency. The regulators in South Korea raised concerns about crypto investment and cautioned that it is not safe. The government also wants the scammers and fraud risks to be minimized. In response, regulators banned the nation's initial coin offerings and cryptocurrency trades.
However, the ban isn't necessarily a good thing for the industry. The closure of over half the South Korean crypto exchanges could lead to easy access for monopolies that could potentially harm ordinary investors. So, it is important to remember that the ban is a temporary move. For now, there is no legal basis for it. Not only is the ban illegal, but the latest guidelines by the South Korean government are unclear about how to enforce it.
