韩国禁止苹果的App Store的14个移动加密应用程序，目标是Kucoin，MEXC和其他未注册的VASP

今天，在金融服务委员会（FSC）下运营的韩国金融情报部（FIU），通过阻止对14个移动申请的访问来加强其监管行动

Today, South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), operating under the Financial Services Commission (FSC), has stepped up its regulatory actions by blocking access to 14 mobile applications on Apple’s App Store. These apps were operated by ‘unregistered’ foreign Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), including exchanges such as KuCoin and MEXC.

如今，在金融服务委员会（FSC）下运营的韩国金融情报部门（FIU）通过阻止苹果App Store上14个移动应用程序的访问来加强其监管行动。这些应用程序由“未注册”的外国虚拟资产服务提供商（VASP）运营，包括Kucoin和MEXC等交易所。

The country’s financial intelligence agency has also threatened to take legal action against any bank that facilitates the use of unregistered crypto platforms.

该国金融情报机构还威胁要对任何有助于使用未注册的加密平台的银行采取法律行动。

The move comes after the FIU, in collaboration with Google, restricted 17 unregistered crypto apps on the Google Play Store in late March.

此举是在FIU与Google合作的FIU之后，在3月下旬的Google Play商店中限制了17个未注册的加密应用程序。

How Strict Are South Korea’s Crypto Rules?

韩国加密货币规则有多严格？

The country is known for its strict financial regulations, extending to the crypto industry. South Korea mandates that all VASPs offering services to its residents must register with the FIU, complying with the Specific Financial Transaction Information Reporting and Use Act. Failure to do so could lead to huge penalties, including fines of up to 50 million won (roughly $37,000) or imprisonment for up to five years.

该国以严格的财务法规而闻名，并扩展到加密货币行业。韩国规定，所有为其居民提供服务的VASP都必须在FIU上注册，符合特定的金融交易信息报告和使用法。如果不这样做，可能会导致巨大的处罚，包括高达5000万韩元（约合37,000美元）的罚款或长达五年的监禁。

Combining the previous crypto app ban on the Google Play Store and today’s Apple App Store, the blocked applications include services from exchanges like KuCoin, MEXC, Phemex, CoinEx, and Poloniex.

结合了Google Play商店和当今Apple App Store上的以前的加密应用程序禁令，包括Kucoin，Mexc，Phemex，Coinex和Poloniex等交易所的服务。

According to the statement released by the South Korean authorities, the aim of blocking these apps is to curtail the operations of unregistered platforms within the country. All these restrictions and regulations are a way for law enforcement to prevent money laundering, protect investors, and maintain market integrity.

根据韩国当局发表的声明，阻止这些应用程序的目的是减少该国境内未注册平台的运营。所有这些限制和法规都是执法部门防止洗钱，保护投资者和维持市场诚信的一种方式。

What Compliance Hurdles Do Crypto Firms Face?

加密公司面临哪些合规障碍？

FIU’s monitoring and enforcement of the rules are likely to continue. Currently, those who wish to use cryptocurrency exchanges must complete the procedures for verifying their accounts using real-name bank accounts. Meanwhile, exchanges are required to set up strong Anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols.

FIU对规则的监控和执行可能会继续。当前，那些希望使用加密货币交易所的人必须完成使用Realname银行帐户验证其帐户的程序。同时，需要交流来建立强大的反洗钱（AML）并了解您的客户（KYC）协议。

The mentioned VASPs must obtain ISMS certification from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and they are obligated to follow the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines. This means that VASPs must collect and share specific information about the originator and beneficiary for virtual asset transfers exceeding 1 million won (around $800).

上述VASP必须从韩国互联网与安全局（KISA）获得ISMS认证，并且他们有义务遵循金融行动工作组（FATF）指南。这意味着VASP必须收集并共享有关发起人和受益人的特定信息，以超过100万韩元（约800美元）。

In addition, the country has a ban on institutional crypto trading, but the plan is to slowly remove the limitations during this year. This phased rollout will allow non-profits, universities, law enforcement agencies, and listed companies to trade crypto assets.

此外，该国禁止制度加密交易，但计划是在今年慢慢消除限制。分阶段的推出将允许非营利组织，大学，执法机构和上市公司交易加密资产。
