South Korea's crypto market faces mounting scrutiny as suspicious transaction reports (STRs) hit record levels. Democratic Party lawmaker Jin Sung-joon warns of potential misuse as digital asset adoption grows, particularly citing stablecoins' role in payment systems and foreign exchange crimes.
Financial Intelligence Unit data reveals 36,684 STR cases from January to August 2025—nearly double 2024's total. The surge marks a dramatic escalation from just 199 cases in 2021. With crypto investors exceeding 10 million nationwide, regulatory countermeasures are becoming imperative.
