South Korea to boost crypto tracking and AI analysis ahead of 2028 FATF review

  • —The strategy was approved at the 23rd meeting of the National Counter-Terrorism Committee on 16 September
  • —The FATF will begin South Korea's 5th mutual evaluation in March 2028, with a report due by June 2029
  • —In July 2026, the FATF pointed to gaps in identifying unregistered crypto businesses and supervision
  • —In the 2024 assessment, South Korea received 13 "fully compliant," 20 "largely compliant" and 7 "partially compliant" ratings
Why it matters: South Korea is building supervisory infrastructure for the FATF review, which could tighten oversight of crypto operations and P2P transfers in the country.
