[경제]Korea Financial Intelligence Service, 4 major coin exchanges money laundering verification

Four major coin exchanges, including Upbit, entered the money laundering inspection table this year, and Naver Financial, Kakao Pay, and Toss were also included in the candidates for direct inspection by the financial authorities.

The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), affiliated with the Financial Services Commission, announced that it will conduct direct inspections this year on virtual asset providers, electronic financial companies, lenders, and casino operators, and start on-site inspections next month.

The Financial Intelligence Service selected virtual asset business, electronic financial business, and loan business as the target of direct inspection this year among businesses that have been subject to the Special Act since 2019.

Among the virtual asset providers that have completed the reporting process to the Analyst, we plan to conduct comprehensive inspections as needed, starting with the four major exchanges that can trade in won, Upbit, Bithumb, Korbit, and Coinone.
