South Korea's FSS to step up AI surveillance of unfair crypto trading

  • —FSS launched real-time market monitoring in May and an AI tool flagging suspected unfair trading in August
  • —Second-level analysis of suspected price manipulation was added in February, automated suspect-group identification in May
  • —The watchdog plans bank-grade IT stability requirements for crypto firms and sanctions for breaches
Why it matters: Tighter oversight in one of the world's largest retail crypto markets raises risks for issuers and manipulators and sets a benchmark for the industry.
