GREAT NEWS!!!

South Korea’s government has confirmed it has “no intention” of banning or “suppressing” cryptocurrency trading in fresh comments on the industry.

‘No Intention To Ban’

In comments Wednesday quoted by Reuters, finance minister Kim Dong-yeon, who earlier in January said that a shutdown was still a possibility, finally ended apprehension surrounding the future of cryptocurrency trading in the country.

Kim had faced a 200,000-strong petition demanding he be fired from his position after the comments, which along with those by justice minister Park Sang-ki, sent shock waves through cryptocurrency markets and sparked public outrage.

“There is no intention to ban or suppress cryptocurrency,” he said.

The confirmation may come as less of a surprise to some, as Seoul moves forward with regulatory improvements to the exchange sector at breakneck speed in recent weeks.

In addition to tax and security obligations, an anonymous trading ban became law Tuesday, with exchanges now obliged to ensure account identities match those of bank accounts.

The pace of change is already causing teething problems, however, as Bitcoinist reported as the ban commenced that big-volume exchanges were finding it considerably easier to work with banks to stay compliant.

Conversely, smaller exchanges faced being cut off from the market through lack of compliance as banks failed to cope with demand. This, sources say, could see one million users caught out.

it would have been great if they had explained their intentions very early because that would have prevented the panic sale and that big fall that bitcoin is facing, these people who sell with the panic make me very angry

The price of bitcoin is not rising much because of these situations, it will take some time for people who wanted to buy or trade on anonymity to make it with their identities exposed. because the anonymity was one of the benefits that many people liked and it comes the government to take it from them.

Whenever we have situations like these, is expect such cases to happen
