韩国加密市场继续签约，因为注册的虚拟资产服务提供商在一年内下降了26％以上

政府数据现在证实，该国注册的虚拟资产服务提供商的数量在一年内下降了26％以上。

South Korea's crypto exchange landscape has undergone a drastic shift, with the number of registered virtual asset service providers (VASPs) declining by over 26% within a year. This development comes amid a broader market downturn and increasing regulatory scrutiny.

韩国的加密交易所格局发生了巨大的转变，一年内注册的虚拟资产服务提供商（VASP）的数量在一年内下降了26％以上。在更广泛的市场经济下滑和监管审查越来越大的情况下，这种发展是出现的。

According to a report by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) on February 7, only 31 crypto exchanges remain active in South Korea, down from 42 in the previous year. Many of the firms that exited the market, such as GDAC, ProBit, Huobi Korea, and Bitrade, primarily operated as token-only platforms that lacked fiat trading support, making it difficult to sustain operations.

根据2月7日金融情报部（FIU）的报告，只有31个加密货币交易所在韩国保持活跃，低于上一年的42个。退出市场的许多公司，例如GDAC，Probit，Huobi Korea和Bitrade，主要是仅作为缺少菲亚特交易支持的仅代币平台，因此很难维持运营。

A key reason behind these closures is the failure to renew registrations, which resulted in the removal of several exchanges from the country’s official registry. Apart from these restrictions, South Korea's martial law in early December 2024 also caused a significant Korean crypto market decline.

这些关闭背后的关键原因是未能续签注册，这导致从该国官方注册表中删除了几次交流。除了这些限制外，韩国的戒严令在2024年12月上旬还导致韩国加密货币市场下降。

Token-Only Exchanges in Deep Trouble

在深度麻烦中唯一的象征交换

Among the exchanges that faced difficulties were those known as "token-only" platforms. These exchanges lacked real-name bank accounts, which made it difficult to attract users. Without fiat trading options like the Korean won or the U.S. dollar, user interest in these platforms remained low.

在面临困难的交流中，有那些被称为“仅象征性”平台的交流。这些交易所缺乏真名银行帐户，这使得很难吸引用户。如果没有诸如韩国赢得的菲亚特交易选项或美元的美元，对这些平台的用户兴趣仍然很低。

According to the FIU report, "Over 90% of these exchanges were in a state of complete capital erosion last year." This eventually led to the shutdown of platforms such as Qubit and Coinbit, among others.

根据FIU报告，“这些交易所中有90％以上是去年完全侵蚀的状态。”这最终导致了Qubit和Coinbit等平台的关闭。

As the market continues to contract, the FIU warns that more exchanges could soon follow. Some firms still registered in South Korea have already expressed intentions to exit the market, while others are looking toward overseas expansion to escape domestic regulatory uncertainty.

随着市场的继续收缩，FIU警告说，可能会很快进行交流。一些仍在韩国注册的公司已经表示打算退出市场，而另一些公司则希望在海外扩张以逃避国内监管不确定性。

South Korea's regulatory environment has made it difficult for crypto businesses to operate smoothly. The nation’s strict anti-money laundering (AML) policies and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements have placed an additional burden on exchanges, especially those lacking direct banking support.

韩国的监管环境使加密货币企业难以顺利运营。该国严格的反洗钱（AML）政策并了解您的客户（KYC）要求对交易所增加了负担，尤其是那些缺乏直接银行支持的人。

Upbit Faces Potential Sanctions

UPBIT面临潜在的制裁

One of South Korea's largest exchanges, Upbit, is now under scrutiny and could face sanctions for allegedly failing to comply with the country’s AML and KYC regulations. Local news outlet Maeil reported that the Financial Information Analysis Institute (FIU), under the Financial Services Commission, has already notified Upbit of the pending penalties.

韩国最大的交易所之一UPBIT正在受到审查，并可能因涉嫌不遵守该国的AML和KYC规定而面临制裁。当地新闻媒体Maeil报道说，金融服务委员会的金融信息分析研究所（FIU）已经通知UPBIT未决处罚。

If the sanctions are confirmed, Upbit could be prohibited from onboarding new customers for up to six months. Such restrictions would pose significant challenges for the platform, which has remained one of the few dominant players in South Korea’s shrinking crypto market.

如果确认制裁，则可以禁止将新客户入职长达六个月。这种限制将对该平台构成重大挑战，该平台仍然是韩国加密货币市场缩小的少数主要参与者之一。

Upbit informed users that the decision would limit new customers from moving virtual assets off the exchange for a specific duration.

UPBIT告诉用户，该决定将限制新客户在特定持续时间内将虚拟资产从交易所脱离交换。

South Korea's Kimchi Premium Hits 3-Year High

韩国的泡菜高级命中3年高

Even as local exchanges struggle, South Korea's Bitcoin kimchi premium has surged, reaching a 10-month high. According to a recent post by CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young, the premium reached 12% on Monday, marking a three-year high. At the time of writing, it has settled at 8.20%.

即使当地交流斗争，韩国的比特币泡菜溢价也飙升，达到了10个月的高点。根据CryptoQuant首席执行官Ki Young的最新一篇文章，周一的溢价达到了12％，标志着三年的高点。在撰写本文时，它的定价为8.20％。

The kimchi premium refers to the price difference when Bitcoin trades higher on South Korean exchanges compared to other global platforms. This gap arises because foreign investors cannot access South Korea’s crypto market, and local investors who attempt arbitrage could face penalties under capital control laws.

Kimchi Premium是指比特币交易在韩国交流中与其他全球平台相比的价格差。由于外国投资者无法访问韩国的加密货币市场而出现这一差距，而尝试套利的当地投资者可能会在资本管制法律下面临罚款。

The premium is often a sign of strong local demand for crypto despite market downturns. However, it also underscores the regulatory walls that prevent the free movement of digital assets, limiting opportunities for traders.

尽管市场低迷，但溢价通常是对加密货币的强烈需求的标志。但是，它也强调了防止数字资产自由流动的监管墙，从而限制了交易者的机会。
