Сообщение ChainCatcher, по данным Digital Asset, финансовая разведывательная служба Кореи (FIU) на общем собрании FATF предложила расширить применение правила Travel Rule для мелких транзакций с виртуальными активами и предложила ввести ограничения на транзакции для высокорисковых незарегистрированных поставщиков услуг виртуальных активов.Корейская делегация подчеркнула, что с увеличением рисков отмывания денег при трансакциях с цифровыми активами через границу, странам-членам следует применять правило Travel Rule как к отправителям, так и к получателям VASP, а также расширить его применение на мелкие транзакции. В связи с увеличением случаев использования преступными организациями зарубежных и незарегистрированных VASP, Корея предложила усилить обязательства по проверке личности клиентов и рассмотреть возможность введения ограничений на транзакции для высокорисковых незарегистрированных VASP.FIU ранее уже продвигала аналогичные меры регулирования в проекте поправки к указу о Законе о специфической финансовой информации, который планируется ввести в действие в августе, расширив применение правила Travel Rule с сумм выше 1 миллиона вон до сумм ниже 1 миллиона вон.
