The Korean Financial Services Commission is advancing new risk management measures for the virtual asset market. The latest regulatory approach is to introduce a "payment freeze" system—preemptively restricting accounts suspected of market manipulation, preventing funds from flowing out freely. The purpose of this measure is straightforward: firstly, to prevent violators from quickly transferring illegal gains; secondly, to cut off pathways for hidden unrealized profits. This system design reflects the increasing attention of various countries to market manipulation behaviors in the cryptocurrency market. Payment freeze is essentially a pre-emptive risk control method, more efficient than post-incident recovery. As the virtual asset market expands, similar regulatory innovations are expected to be adopted in more countries.

Freezing payments is indeed a tough move, but do you think it might accidentally harm ordinary retail investors? How do you determine suspected manipulation?

Freezing again, now the newcomers can rest assured, right?

Now it's all good, accounts are going to be frozen again, just like a bank... But to be honest, catching the big players early is better than defending rights after the fact.

Frozen accounts again? Korea's tactics are getting more and more ruthless, even compliant users need to be careful --- Payment freezes sound really uncomfortable, feels like your money could be locked at any time --- Pre-emptive freezing is indeed more convenient than post-incident recovery, but what about ordinary users? Could they be mistakenly harmed? --- If this regulatory innovation is rolled out globally, small investors will have an even harder time --- Suspected account freezes? What's the standard? Lack of transparency fears misuse --- While cracking down on manipulation is correct, this kind of measure always feels like too much power --- Korea's move will definitely influence other countries to follow suit, and the crypto world will tighten again --- I understand preventing fund transfers, but the word "suspected" is a bit scary

The move to freeze payments is indeed ruthless, but the manipulators have already been thinking about how to bypass it...

Payment freezing sounds nice, but basically it's an expansion of power. What if one day you're wrongly accused?
