警惕加密貨幣

2024 年 7 月 4 日，韓國金融監管局 (FSS) 宣布推出一項全新武器——加密貨幣交易持續監控系統。

根據金融監督院的新聞稿，該系統與國內加密貨幣交易所合作開發，預計將于 7 月 19 日上線，與《虛擬資產用戶保護法》的實施同步。

作為《虛擬資產用戶保護法》的一部分，韓國政府推出了一套新的系統，用于監控交易所的可疑加密貨幣交易。

該系統背后的意圖很明確——打擊韓國加密貨幣市場的可疑活動和非法行為。

金融監督局的目標是實現近乎全面的監管，該系統旨在監控全國 99.9% 的交易量。

這雙警惕的眼睛將被訓練來識別危險信號，例如超出正常交易量和價格范圍的交易、大額交易、不尋常交易以及執行時間緩慢等。

任何被標記為可疑活動的賬戶都將被立即報告給金融監督局以進行進一步調查。

對韓國及全球市場的影響

該監控體系的出臺，以及《虛擬資產用戶保護法》所體現的更廣泛的監管框架，必將對國內和國際產生重大影響。

韓國長期以來一直是全球加密貨幣市場的主要參與者，今年早些時候韓元甚至超過美元成為加密貨幣交易中最常用的貨幣。

據估計，韓國有 10% 的人口積極參與加密貨幣市場，與比特幣等老牌加密貨幣相比，他們尤其青睞規模較小、風險較高的山寨幣。

在 Coinbase 上，BTC 和 ETH 占據了交易量的大部分，分別為 36% 和 22%。山寨幣僅占 31%，而穩定幣占 10%。

新的法規無疑將為韓國加密貨幣交易者創造一個更加謹慎和可控的環境。

交易所將接受更嚴格的代幣上市審查流程，用戶保護措施也將大大加強。

Crypto service providers will now be required to safeguard over 80% of user deposits in cold storage, and enroll in insurance programs to mitigate the risk of security breaches.

The global market may also feel the tremors of this regulatory earthquake.

South Korea's prominent position within the crypto ecosystem means that any major shifts in their regulatory landscape are bound to have ripple effects across the wider market.

Investors and traders around the world will be closely watching how these new user protection rules are implemented and enforced, gauging their potential impact on crypto prices.

Delisting Fears and the Altcoin Maze

One of the most talked-about aspects of the new regulations is the potential for mass delistings of altcoins.

Crypto exchanges in South Korea have been scrambling to dispel these fears, with the Digital Asset Exchange Alliance (DAXA) – representing major Korean exchanges – downplaying the likelihood of widespread delistings.

DAXA argues that the upcoming review process, which will see over 1,333 cryptocurrencies scrutinised for compliance with the new act over a six-month period, will be a more measured approach compared to initial fears of an immediate purge.

However, the spectre of delisting still looms large for altcoins deemed non-compliant with the new regulatory standards.

Matt Younghoon Mok, a partner at a law firm in Seoul, has pointed out that the FSS guidelines could pose significant challenges for altcoins that struggle to swiftly adapt to the stricter requirements.

This could potentially lead to a shakeout within the altcoin market, with some tokens falling by the wayside as they fail to meet the new benchmarks.

South Koreans and Crypto: A Love Affair with Risk?

South Korea's relationship with cryptocurrency is a complex one.

On the one hand, the country boasts a high level of crypto adoption, with a significant portion of the population actively involved in the market.

This enthusiasm is particularly pronounced for altcoins, which offer the allure of potentially high returns but also carry a greater degree of risk.

On the other hand, the recent collapse of TerraUSD and Luna, masterminded by Do Kwon, has highlighted the vulnerabilities inherent in the crypto market.

This high-profile implosion, which contributed to a $2 trillion market downturn, has undoubtedly shaken the confidence of some South Korean crypto investors.

The subsequent civil fraud charges levied against Do Kwon further highlights the potential dangers associated with the crypto space.

South Korea's Crypto Gamble: A Global Test Case?

韓國積極的新加密貨幣法規是一場賭博——可能會產生全球影響。

這種方法的成功取決于微妙的平衡行為——確保投資者保護，同時又不抑制推動加密貨幣發展的創新精神。

如果韓國能夠走好這條鋼絲繩，那么它將為更加成熟、主流的加密貨幣市場鋪平道路——這也是其他國家可以效仿的藍圖。

然而，如果這些規定被證明過于嚴格或未能充分解決安全問題，它們可能會抑制增長和創新，使該行業進一步轉入地下。

全世界都將屏息關注這項加密監管實驗如何展開。
