Bank of Korea plans monthly balance reports for users with cross-border crypto transfers

  • —Transfer reports due by 11:00 the next day, including resident registration numbers
  • —Monthly balance reporting would cover 1,272,878 users at the five largest exchanges
  • —Rules tied to the amended Foreign Exchange Transactions Act taking effect Dec. 3
  • —The Bank of Korea calls the manual a draft and says the scope is being adjusted
Why it matters: If adopted as drafted, the rules would add heavy reporting burdens for Korean exchanges and put client privacy at the center of a legal fight.
