South Korea Proposes New Rules for Cross-Border Crypto Transfers
- —Registration would require IT systems and at least two qualified FX staff per office
- —Transfer data would flow to the Bank of Korea and be shared with tax and FIU agencies
- —Upbit, Bithumb, custodians and brokers could fall under the rules
- —Registration could be revoked after a first qualifying violation
Why it matters: South Korea is extending foreign exchange controls to crypto, raising compliance costs for exchanges and custodians handling cross-border flows.
