In addition, recently, as South Korean regulatory authorities hinted at relaxing the principle of financial asset separation, several traditional financial giants in South Korea, including Samsung Securities and Hana Bank, have been accelerating their efforts to acquire shares in virtual asset exchanges.

According to Gate market data, the South Korean KOSPI index's early gains expanded to 1%, and the Nikkei 225 index is currently up 0.65%, both reaching historical highs. SoftBank Group's stock price rose by 6%.

According to Edaily, South Korean digital asset custody company KDAC has been selected as the custodian and operational service provider for the seizure of virtual assets by the National Tax Service of South Korea. This is the first instance of the government entrusting the seizure of virtual assets to a private professional custody company. KDAC has signed a delegation contract with the National Tax Service and will launch the project in June.This project is a follow-up measure to the "Improvement Plan for the Holding and Management System of Virtual Assets in the Public Sector" jointly released by the government in April this year. It aims to establish a formal operational model through the introduction of a private custody and operational system after pilot operations. This model will serve as a reference case for public institutions such as the prosecution, police, and customs in managing virtual assets.

According to Cryptopolitan, the Digital Asset Exchange Alliance (DAXA) in South Korea has introduced new compliance standards requiring exchanges to revoke API keys suspected of being improperly shared among users. The new regulations aim to combat market manipulation, false orders, and other behaviors that exploit shared or leaked API credentials.According to the new guidelines, DAXA member exchanges will take strict measures when suspicious API sharing behavior is detected. After enhanced monitoring and user warnings, users will be required to undergo mandatory re-authentication. Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax are all regulated by DAXA, and these exchanges will also implement an IP whitelist system to restrict API access only from approved addresses. The Financial Supervisory Service of Korea stated that automated trading currently accounts for about 30% of domestic cryptocurrency trading volume.

The police pointed out that Tether is being abused as an illegal money laundering tool, with unregistered virtual asset exchange operators spreading throughout Seoul.The police plan to treat money laundering as an independent crime and apply violations of the Specific Financial Information Act to unregistered virtual asset service providers. The police have also secured a budget of 100 million won for cryptocurrency tracking training. Previously, some bank accounts linked to domestic exchanges were suspected of being used as money laundering channels due to the removal of daily deposit limits (increased from 5 million won to 500 million won).

Additionally, according to CryptoQuant data, the Bitcoin Korea premium indicator has been negative for most of the time since March, reflecting weak buying interest in the Korean market.

Attackers impersonate trading company employees via Telegram, using forged Calendly and Picktime links for social engineering attacks. The malware is loaded in a three-stage chain through DPAPILoader, RemotePELoader, and RemotePE, with the entire process avoiding contact with the file system, utilizing process hollowing, anti-analysis checks, and encrypted C2 communication to evade detection.This malware was first discovered in September 2025. In the first four months of 2026, the Lazarus organization has stolen approximately $577 million in cryptocurrency assets, accounting for 76% of the total global cryptocurrency theft.
