According to PANews, data from the office of South Korean Democratic Party (DPK) lawmaker Yoon Suk-yeol reveals a significant increase in user activity on virtual asset exchanges following the emergency state declaration by President Yoon Suk-yeol on December 3, 2024. The Financial Supervisory Service (FSC) reported that the number of concurrent online users on major exchanges surged to more than 11 times the usual figures. Typically, these exchanges see 50,000 to 100,000 concurrent users, but during the emergency, this number rose to between 500,000 and 1.1 million.
The FSC has completed an investigation into the access failures experienced by crypto exchanges during the martial law period and has recommended measures to enhance their response capabilities. These include expanding system performance by adding more servers, altering system infrastructure, and redesigning processes. Additionally, the FSC advised improving the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure adequate system resilience. To address the surge in requests for Korean won deposits and withdrawals, the FSC emphasized the need to enhance hotline communication channels and consultation procedures with banks.#SouthKorea #CryptoExchange #EmergencyDeclaration #UserActivity #VirtualAssets #FinancialSupervisoryService #ConcurrentUsers #VirtualAssetExchanges #CrisisResponse #BusinessContinuityPlan

According to BlockBeats, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to place the Washington D.C. Police Department under federal control and deploy the National Guard to the capital. This decision aims to address what he described as a wave of 'lawlessness.'
During a press conference at the White House, Trump stated, 'I am deploying the National Guard to help restore law, order, and public safety in Washington D.C. Our capital has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals.' This move marks Trump's latest use of executive power to intervene in matters traditionally managed at the local level, particularly targeting cities governed by Democrats. However, he denied accusations of creating a crisis to expand presidential authority.
Trump emphasized that the high crime rate in Washington D.C. is affecting the operations of the federal government. While acknowledging issues in other cities, he indicated that Washington D.C. would be the starting point for his initiative. Trump has officially declared a public safety emergency in Washington D.C. and mentioned the possibility of deploying military forces if necessary.#Trump #WashingtonDC #PoliceControl #NationalGuard #PublicSafety #CrimeSurge #ExecutivePower #LawAndOrder #FederalIntervention #EmergencyDeclaration
