South Korea's Financial Services Commission has transferred two cases of cryptocurrency manipulation to prosecutors.
PANews reported on July 1st that, according to the Chosun Ilbo, South Korea's Financial Services Commission, at its regular meeting, voted to transfer two cases involving suspected manipulation of the virtual asset market to the prosecution. The first case involves digital assets listed simultaneously on domestic and overseas exchanges. The suspects invested tens of billions of won, acquiring more than half of the global circulating supply. They first artificially inflated prices on overseas exchanges, then used cross-market arbitrage and price linkage effects to induce South Korean investors to follow suit. Profits on domestic exchanges far exceeded losses overseas, with the majority of losses concentrated among South Korean investors. The second case involves ultra-short-term manipulation of "Kimchi Coin." The suspects pre-purchased specific assets and repeatedly submitted market buy and sell orders within one second through the API channel to create a false impression of active trading. Simultaneously, they repeatedly submitted high-priced buy orders to inflate prices, then sold off their holdings in batches to cash out.
