South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is expanding preventive monitoring of suspicious virtual-asset trading to cover spoofing, concentrated trading and excessive order revisions, while preparing stronger safeguards for leveraged investments such as credit financing and margin trading. At a Financial Consumer Protection Performance Report to the Public event on the 17th, the FSS said digital-asset markets are particularly vulnerable to unfair trading because of market-specific price distortions and high volatility. The regulator is in final-stage consultations with the Financial Services Commission on measures that could restrict margin trading by minors, require additional confirmation from elderly investors, provide forced-liquidation simulations and improve advance notifications. The FSS also reported 94 regulatory improvements based on complaints and disputes, 463,000 records shared through its ASAP voice-phishing platform and 66.36 billion won in prevented losses. Complaints and filings continued to outpace resolutions, while short-term sales incentives remained a concern, and the agency plans to launch an AI Complaint Portal in January next year.
