South Korea to Amend Law to Give FIU Direct Enforcement Power

The shift here is structural rather than symbolic: enforcement authority moving directly to the FIU compresses the distance between suspicion and action, which matters most for venues already operating outside registration. It affects unregistered exchanges and their users far more than compliant platforms, since the target is the registration gap itself. Whether other jurisdictions adopt a similar direct-enforcement model, and how unregistered venues adapt, is the open question worth watching.
