Abstract generation in progress

ME News Report, April 8 (UTC+8), South Korea’s Financial Services Commission and Financial Supervisory Service jointly announced new regulations requiring all domestic cryptocurrency exchanges to adopt a unified withdrawal delay review standard to curb voice phishing scams. The new rules revoke the authority of individual exchanges to set their own withdrawal exemption conditions, instead conducting reviews based on account history, transaction patterns, and behavioral anomalies. It is estimated that less than 1% of users will qualify for instant withdrawals. Platforms must also strengthen identity verification and monitor fund flows accordingly. Previously, scam groups exploited the exemption rules of various platforms to guide victims to convert cash into cryptocurrencies and complete transfers within minutes. This new regulation marks a shift in South Korea’s crypto risk management system from industry self-regulation to a unified national standard. (Source: ChainCatcher)
