It failed to set up proper systems to block such transactions. Because of this repeated non-compliance, regulators decided to impose strict penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>Also Read:<a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/crypto\/jpmorgans-role-in-328m-crypto-ponzi-scheme\/\"> JPMorgan\u2019s role in $328M Crypto Ponzi Scheme<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earlier-warning-before-final-decision\"><strong>Earlier Warning before Final Decision<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the final punishment, the FIU had already issued a preliminary notice on March 9, warning Bithumb about a possible six-month suspension.

Even a three-month restriction was placed on deposits and withdrawals for new users. It was fined for 35.2 billion, worth around $23.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another platform, named Korbit, was penalised in December 2025. It was fined 2.73 billion, around $1.8 million. It also received a warning for AML and customer verification failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, South Korea is becoming more strict with crypto regulations. This is becoming stringent when it comes to preventing illegal financial transactions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, crypto exchanges must follow AML rules strictly, governments are monitoring closely, and non-compliance can lead to huge fines and restrictions. The action against Bithumb highlights South Korea\u2019s strong push to clean up the crypto industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By enforcing strict AML rules, authorities aim to make the market safer and more transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Written by Parvati Anilkumar<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-1667566948\"><div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({\r\n    mode: 'alternating-thumbnails-a',\r\n    container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnails',\r\n    placement: 'Below Article Thumbnails',\r\n    target_type: 'mix'\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({flush: true});\r\n<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis: This article explains the action taken by South Korean regulators to prevent financial irregularities on Bithumb.
