[팍스넷뉴스 원재연 기자] Ahead of the enforcement of the revised Special Special Act, virtual asset exchanges are reorganizing listed virtual assets. As it is necessary to submit a list of virtual assets that support transactions in accordance with the Special Law Notification Manual, he is more cautious in managing virtual assets handled.
According to the revised Special Special Act, which will take effect on the 25th, virtual asset exchanges must prepare and submit a’virtual asset handling list’ according to the virtual asset reporting manual distributed by the financial authorities. In addition to the virtual assets that support transactions, a list of virtual assets other than the purpose of customer transactions held by the exchange must be submitted.
The information that exchanges must prepare according to the reporting manual is ▲ a list of virtual assets handled ▲ whether the virtual asset is for customer transaction or customer transaction, and ▲ whether or not Dark Coin.
Darkcoin is a virtual asset with a technology that prevents the transmission record from being identified when a virtual asset is transmitted, such as Monero, Verge, Zcash, and Dash. This is because when dealing with the virtual asset, it may be difficult to prevent money laundering (AML), which is an obligation of exchanges.
Earlier, it was revealed that some dark coins were used for criminal purposes after last year’s N-bang incident, and the awareness of dark coins has increased.
According to the Financial Services Commission, “Even if it falls under the definition of a virtual asset, it is difficult to understand the transaction details, so virtual assets with a high risk of money laundering are prohibited from being handled by virtual asset providers.”
Accordingly, virtual asset exchanges have subsequently delisted Dark Coins, which can be an obstacle to reporting, since last year. As of last year, the number of Dark Coins listed on the exchange was 5 Upbit, 5 Bithumb, and 3 Coinone, but all transaction support has ended.
Even if they do not fall under Dark Coin, virtual assets that do not have business continuity or are concerned about damage to investors have also been delisted.
There are a total of 70 virtual assets that Upbit has ended support for transactions from last year to this month, a total of 21 types for Bithumb, 12 types for Coinone, and 5 types for Kobit. There are eight virtual assets delisted by these four exchanges this month alone. All of them are fully equipped with reporting requirements such as ISMS (information protection management system) and real name confirmation deposit and withdrawal accounts, so they are more thoroughly managing listed virtual assets.
Upbit ended support for the transaction, saying that it will take strong measures against projects that abuse the disclosure system for Go Money 2, which posted a false disclosure this month. Bithumb also ended transaction support saying that the development progress of Hycon, which was issued by the blockchain company Glossper, was not confirmed last month.
An official of Upbit said, “We have ended support for the transaction of digital assets that support the privacy function during the transmission process, or that there is little possibility of future support, or that promotes anonymous transactions.
However, in the future, it is necessary to keep an eye on whether the virtual assets add functions that can be used for money laundering or whether the business continues.
An industry insider explained, “Since the virtual asset project can implement dark coin technology through future updates, it is necessary to continuously check on the side of the virtual asset handling company.”
