South Korea’s 3rd-Largest Crypto Exchange Penalized For AML Breaches

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has penalized Coinone, the country's third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, for significant anti-money laundering (AML) violations. The exchange was fined 5.2 billion won ($3.5 million) and received a three-month partial business suspension, blocking new customers from deposits and withdrawals. The FIU found approximately 70,000 cases of unverified user accounts and identified over 10,000 transactions with 16 unregistered foreign platforms. CEO Cha Myung-hoon received a formal reprimand. This action follows a similar penalty against Bithumb, the second-largest exchange, which was fined $24 million last month. Regulators are urging lawmakers to implement stricter controls, including trading halt mechanisms for abnormal market activity.

Coinone Hit With Fines and Trading Curbs Over AML Violations in South Korea

Coinone, South Korea's third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has been fined 5.2 billion won ($3.5 million) and issued a three-month partial business suspension by the country's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). The penalties are due to multiple anti-money laundering violations, including a failure to verify user identities in approximately 70,000 instances. The FIU also found that Coinone processed over 10,000 transactions with 16 registered offshore exchanges and neglected its customer due diligence responsibilities. This is the second major regulatory action against a South Korean exchange in a month, following similar penalties against Bithumb. The Bank of Korea is now advocating for stricter regulations, including trading limitations to halt activity during abnormal market fluctuations.

Watchdog Slaps Binance Australia With A$10 Million Fine Over Onboarding Failures

Australia's financial regulator, ASIC, has fined Binance's derivatives arm A$10 million ($6.8 million) for serious compliance failures. The Federal Court found that Binance misclassified over 85% of its Australian clients as wholesale investors, allowing 524 retail customers to access high-risk crypto derivatives without required consumer protections. This led to over A$12 million in client losses and fees. Binance admitted to providing no product disclosure statements, lacking dispute resolution systems, and failing to properly train staff. The exchange also allowed clients to retake investor tests until they passed. ASIC emphasized this case serves as a warning to global financial firms operating in Australia to comply with local laws.

Crypto Under Fire: Why South Korea’s Bithumb Penalty Is A Warning Shot To Exchanges Worldwide

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has imposed a six-month partial business suspension and a fine of 36.8 billion won (approximately $24–26 million) on Bithumb, one of the country's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. The penalties are due to serious breaches of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, including dealings with unregistered overseas virtual asset service providers and inadequate customer due diligence. The exchange’s CEO received a reprimand, and its reporting officer faces a six-month suspension. This action is part of a broader regulatory crackdown following a system error at Bithumb in February that miscredited Bitcoin holdings. The move aligns with South Korea's efforts to strengthen crypto oversight in line with FATF standards. Similar enforcement trends are emerging globally, as seen in major penalties against exchanges like Binance in the U.S. and regulatory actions in Canada, Australia, and France. The case underscores increasing regulatory scrutiny on crypto exchanges worldwide and highlights the growing importance of robust compliance to mitigate counterparty risks.
