韩国拟允许交易所及金融科技公司参与虚拟资产海外汇款系统

Odaily Planet Daily News: South Korea is considering allowing entities such as exchanges and fintech companies to participate in the upcoming virtual asset overseas remittance business system, which is expected to be implemented this December.

Sources indicate that the government has recently begun drafting the implementing regulations for certain amendments to the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act and is reviewing registration requirements for virtual asset transfer businesses. The core of the amendment is to include cross-border virtual asset transfers within the regulatory framework of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act and define them as "virtual asset transfer business." Enterprises intending to engage in virtual asset transfer business must register with the office of the Minister of Economy and Finance of South Korea and report relevant information through the Bank of Korea's foreign exchange computer network when conducting cross-border transfer transactions.
