South Korea’s no.3 cryptocurrency exchange mentioned,
Coinone strives to establish a listing system and strengthen the public function of the exchange (market surveillance, disclosure, and internal listing) in order to harmonize the two goals of actively listing cryptocurrency and securing investor confidence.
The move comes after three major cryptocurrency firms. Namely, Bithumb, Upbit, and Korbit, along with Coinone, are facing difficulties in updating their bank accounts in the country. The South Korean banking organizations are now requesting for a demand standards from crypto exchanges, following the new guidelines of Financial Action Task Force (FATF). According to new FATF guidelines, it makes crypto exchanges officially responsible for any identified money laundering operations. The limitations are so strong that small scale crypto exchange firms might find it difficult to stand.
Recently, it was reported that the South Korean Financial Intelligence Unit of Financial Services Commission is considering monitoring of the crypto exchanges directly.
