South Korea's FIU to deploy Chainalysis on-chain analytics to trace crypto crime funds

  • —FIU reported a 1.93 billion won budget to parliament for Chainalysis on-chain tools
  • —System will link transfers between domestic and overseas exchanges and wallets
  • —Suspicious transaction reviews rose from 26,692 in 2023 to 44,680 in 2025
  • —Goal is to trace funds from fraud to overseas exchanges and personal wallets
Why it matters: Tighter on-chain monitoring in Korea raises risks for illicit flows and sets a precedent for other regulators.
