  Sure! In South Korea, the regulation of cryptocurrencies is primarily governed by the Act on Reporting and Use of Specific Financial Information. This law requires cryptocurrency exchanges to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. It also mandates that exchanges obtain a license from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) to operate legally. Additionally, the government has implemented measures to enhance consumer protection and prevent illegal activities in the cryptocurrency market.
