SOUTH KOREA CONSIDERS “PAYMENT SUSPENSION” MECHANISM TO FREEZE SUSPECTED CRYPTO MANIPULATION ACCOUNTS



According to Yonhap News, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (#FSC ) is actively considering introducing a “payment suspension” system in the second phase of the Virtual Asset legislation. The mechanism would allow authorities to freeze accounts suspected of virtual asset manipulation before a criminal verdict, preventing the concealment or withdrawal of unrealized gains.

The proposal is modeled on a freeze mechanism already applied to stock market manipulation cases since 2023, and aims to strengthen enforcement against illicit crypto trading while improving asset preservation and investor protection.
