[인포스탁데일리=김현욱AI 앵커] It is known that the financial authorities will add two or three virtual asset exchanges that have secured bank real-name accounts in the second half of this year.
Hana Bank, Woori Bank, and Kakao Bank are among the banks that want to link deposit and withdrawal accounts with the virtual asset exchange.
A media outlet reported that the Financial Services Commission recently reported this to the Presidential Transition Committee.
Currently, there are five virtual asset exchanges that have secured real-name deposit/withdrawal confirmation accounts: ▲Upbit (Kbank) ▲Bithumb (NH Nonghyup) ▲Coinone (NH Nonghyup) ▲Korbit (Shinhan) ▲Gopax (JB Jeonbuk Bank).
An official from the acquisition committee said, “About three virtual asset exchanges will sign additional contracts with banks to provide real-name accounts in the second half of this year.”
Currently, Woori Bank, SC First Bank, Hana Bank, Kakao Bank, and Toss Bank are selected as banks that are actively entering the virtual asset industry.
According to the report, virtual asset exchanges such as Flattines Chain and ProBit are promoting collaboration with banks.
The financial authorities and the transition committee are interpreted as a position to check the market by increasing the number of exchanges as controversy arises that Upbit, a virtual asset exchange, is monopolizing the market.
In fact, Upbit currently accounts for 83% of domestic Bitcoin trading volume.
An official from the transition committee explained, “In order to foster the blockchain industry, the rest of the exchanges that meet the qualifications must also open won-denominated transactions.”
