Averting another Terra/Luna incidentThe recent UST/LUNA collapse has given rise to several calls for government regulation in the Cryptocurrency space. South Korea’s financial authorities and the Financial Supervisory Service would be analyzing the risk characteristics of domestic virtual assets as a way to manage risks in the virtual asset market.
In order to analyze the risk characteristics of domestic virtual assets, the FSS plans to entrust research services to institutions with public trust first. It is known that it is currently in the final stages of contracting a service contract with a research institute affiliated with a university.
First, the Financial Supervisory Service is planning to move away from the method currently evaluated by exchanges in different ways and unify them. The purpose is to ensure that investor protection is systematically possible only when coins are evaluated with the same model.
