La FSC sud-coréenne examine si l'acquisition de parts de Dunamu par Hana Bank viole les règles de régulation

Mars Finance information, according to iNews24 reports, the Korea Financial Services Commission (FSC) is reviewing whether Hana Bank’s acquisition of Dunamu shares violates the regulatory rules of “separation of finance and virtual assets.”
The virtual assets department of the Financial Services Commission stated that Hana Bank’s indirect holding of Dunamu shares through the acquisition of Kakao Investment shares is essentially an investment in a virtual asset exchange and will be examined under the same standards.
Since 2017, the Korean government has prohibited financial institutions from holding, purchasing virtual assets, or making equity investments through administrative guidance.
If this is violated, Hana Bank may be unable to complete the transaction.
Future Asset Consulting is advancing the acquisition of the Kobit operation rights, and Korea Investment & Securities is also taking a cautious stance.
Hana Bank previously announced the acquisition of a 6.55% stake in Dunamu but did not consult with authorities in advance.
Currently, the “separation of finance and virtual assets” regulation has not yet been codified into law, and it is uncertain whether related provisions will be included in the digital asset bill; legislative discussions may be accelerated after the National Assembly reconvenes in September.
