🚀 South Korea Introduces Guidelines for Virtual Asset Lending Services
#SouthKorea #VirtualAssetLending #Guidelines #SelfRegulatory #DAXA #FSC #FSS #CryptoLending #CryptoRegulation #MarketStability #UserProtection #LeverageBan #CashLendingBan #KoreanWon #LoanLimits #EducationRequirement #PublicDisclosure #Top20MarketCap #ThreeExchanges
According to PANews, South Korea's financial regulatory authorities have introduced the first set of guidelines for virtual asset lending services. In response to increased investor risks due to intensified competition among exchanges, the regulations prohibit leverage and cash lending, set personal limits, and cap fees to prevent short-selling activities. On September 5, the Financial Services Commission announced the implementation of the self-regulatory 'Virtual Asset Lending Business Guidelines,' developed by the Financial Supervisory Service and DAXA.
The new guidelines focus on three core areas: service scope limitations, user protection, and market stability. They explicitly ban excessive leverage lending and cash lending in Korean won, requiring exchanges to use their own assets for services and prohibiting third-party delegation or indirect lending models.
In terms of enhanced user protection measures, first-time users must complete DAXA's online education and adaptability test. Loan limits are set between 30 million to 70 million Korean won, depending on trading experience. Users must be notified in advance of any forced liquidation risks and allowed to add collateral. The annual fee rate is capped at 20%, and exchanges must publicly disclose the lending status and liquidation cases for each cryptocurrency.
For market stability, the guidelines restrict lending targets to the top 20 market cap assets or those listed on at least three Korean won exchanges, excluding assets under trading warnings or suspected of abnormal trading. An internal control mechanism is required to prevent excessive concentration in specific cryptocurrencies, which could lead to market volatility.#SouthKorea #VirtualAssetLending #Guidelines #SelfRegulatory #DAXA #FSC #FSS #CryptoLending #CryptoRegulation #MarketStability #UserProtection #LeverageBan #CashLendingBan #KoreanWon #LoanLimits #EducationRequirement #PublicDisclosure #Top20MarketCap #ThreeExchanges

We are fully reserved,” CZ said. “Balances are audited, and everything is easy to track.”Proof of Reserves and Transparency at the CoreCZ highlighted transparency as one of Binance’s defining principles, noting that the exchange’s on-chain proof-of-reserves framework allows users and analysts to verify holdings independently.“We are the best in transparency,” he said, adding that public blockchain infrastructure makes asset tracking significantly easier compared with traditional financial systems.Proof of reserves became a central focus across the crypto industry following a series of exchange failures, increasing user demand for verifiable custody models.December 2022: A Major Stress Test for BinanceCZ referenced December 2022 as a critical moment that tested Binance’s infrastructure and liquidity resilience.During that period, Binance processed more than $15 billion in withdrawals within a single week, while the exchange’s total reserves stood at approximately $16 billion at the time.At the peak of market stress, CZ said Binance handled around $7 billion in withdrawals in a single day without disruption.“These were real stress tests,” he said.‘As Long as the System Is Working, It’s Working’CZ recalled that during the height of the withdrawal surge, he remained calm due to confidence in Binance’s reserve model and technical systems.“I remember that time very clearly,” he said. “I was still managing Binance. I was having dinner with friends, and they asked why I wasn’t busy.”His response, he explained, was simple: as long as systems function properly, operations continue normally.“As long as the system is working, it is working,” CZ said.#Binance #CZ #ProofOfReserves #Transparency #CryptoMarket #UserProtection #CryptoLiquidity #MarketStress #Withdrawals #CryptoSecurity #BinanceInfrastructure #Cryptocurrency #BNB
