According to Digital Asset, the Bank of Korea will require virtual asset transfer service providers to submit monthly reports to the foreign exchange information system starting December 2. The reports must cover end-of-month holdings of users who have made cross-border crypto asset transfers to overseas exchanges, personal wallets, or other destinations since July 19, 2024—even if no cross-border transactions occurred in the reporting month. Submissions include holding amounts, South Korean won-converted balances, and total monthly cross-border inflows and outflows. Dormant accounts, delisted assets, and staked assets are also within scope, with reports due by 17:30 on the 10th of the following month.
