South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service announced plans to strengthen regulations in the virtual asset market by 2026. According to PANews, the agency aims to investigate high-risk areas that disrupt market order, focusing on manipulative practices such as 'whale' market manipulation, 'cage' tactics, and 'horse racing' methods. It will also target improper trading involving API orders or false information spread via social media. Additionally, artificial intelligence tools will be developed for rapid analysis of abnormal surges in virtual assets, enabling automatic identification of suspicious trading intervals and groups.
To prevent financial IT incidents, the agency will introduce punitive fines and enhance security responsibilities for CEOs and chief information security officers. A comprehensive monitoring system will be implemented to collect and disseminate cyber threat information within the financial sector. Furthermore, the agency has established a preparatory group for the introduction of the Basic Law on Digital Assets to support the effective execution of secondary virtual asset legislation. This group will develop disclosure systems related to virtual asset issuance and trading support, and create a licensing review business manual for digital asset operators and stablecoin issuers.#SouthKorea #VirtualAssetRegulations #FinancialSupervisoryService #MarketManipulation #WhaleManipulation #APIOrders #FalseInformation #ArtificialIntelligence #FinancialSecurity #DigitalAssets #CyberThreatMonitoring #StablecoinIssuers #DigitalAssetLegislation

π Chinese Copper Buyers Extend Lunar New Year Break Amid High Prices
#ChineseCopper #LunarNewYear #CopperPrices #IndustrialDemand #CopperMarket #CommodityTrends #PriceFluctuations #MarketAdjustment #CopperTransactions #GlobalCopperMarket
Chinese copper buyers are prolonging their pause during the Lunar New Year due to near-record prices affecting industrial demand for the metal. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that the elevated costs have led to a slowdown in purchasing activity. The Lunar New Year, traditionally a time for reduced business activity, has seen an extended break this year as buyers wait for prices to stabilize.
The copper market has been experiencing significant fluctuations, with prices nearing record highs. This has resulted in cautious behavior from buyers who are hesitant to make large purchases under current conditions. The situation reflects broader trends in the commodities market, where high prices are impacting demand across various sectors.
Industry experts suggest that the current price levels are unsustainable and anticipate adjustments in the coming months. However, the immediate impact is a noticeable decrease in copper transactions, as buyers opt to wait for more favorable conditions.
The extended break is expected to continue until there is a significant shift in market dynamics, allowing buyers to resume their activities with more confidence. Meanwhile, the global copper market remains closely watched, with stakeholders assessing the potential for future price corrections.#ChineseCopper #LunarNewYear #CopperPrices #IndustrialDemand #CopperMarket #CommodityTrends #PriceFluctuations #MarketAdjustment #CopperTransactions #GlobalCopperMarket
