Jong-Ku reportedly described the Cryptocurrency investment as “irrational” and continues: “speculative investment fever on Cryptocurrencies is underway, but Cryptocurrencies cannot play a role as a means of payment.”
The report follows a statement by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) and the country’s Financial Information Unit describing how the two agencies have begun to inspect six banks to ensure that they comply with the new anti-corruption regulations. Money laundering.
The banks in question are linked to the country’s Bitcoin Exchange ecosystem, which has seen high trading volumes in recent months and is high in prices compared to other markets around the world. South Korean officials have been concerned about price speculation around Cryptocurrency in the past.
