FTX was a wake-up call for many, including the South Korean regulators.
Initial investigations revealed that all crypto exchanges performed lawful operations across South Korea. However, a Financial Services Commission spokesperson revealed plans for deeper investigation because “there are still some doubts related” to in-house token listings.
Flata Exchange is one of the primary suspects and is being investigated for listing its in-house token, FLAT, back in January 2020, as reported by local media Yonhap. Major exchanges such as Upbit and Bithumb have been cleared by the authorities and the investigations will be more focused on smaller exchanges.
On average, 297,229 unique South Korean users visited FTX.com monthly, making South Korea top the chart of countries that were most impacted by FTX’s collapse, confirmed a CoinGecko analysis.Based on suspicion of profiting from unwarranted LUNA sales, South Korean authorities froze approximately $104.4 million from FTX co-founder Shin Hyun-seong.
The Seoul Southern District Court approved the decision to freeze Shin’s assets until further investigations are concluded.
