前几天有本坛网友问到韩国套利问题,看到有关新闻,我转到这里。
大致意思是:韩国虚拟货币价格比较高,是因为韩国不允许非本国居民(非本国人需要有工作签证)开户,同时韩国人在其它国家开户需要得到书面批准。

Arbitrage(套利)? Think Again
Although the price of cryptocurrencies in the South Korean market is significantly higher than the global average rates, it is not possible for foreigners to take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity in the South Korean market for many reasons:
1, Investors need mobile phone numbers to register on South Korean exchanges. South Korean telecoms do not issue (even prepaid sim cards) to individuals without Korean citizenship, residential visa, or work visa.
2, Investors need bank accounts. But, banks do not open bank accounts to foreigners without residential or work visa. Banks make it hard for citizens to open accounts as well, due to the governments’ recent crackdown on offshore banking accounts and fraudulent bank accounts.
3, The South Korean government has banned foreigners and underaged investors from investing in cryptocurrencies. South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges cannot accept foreigners into their trading platforms.
Conclusively, the prices of cryptocurrencies in the South Korean market are high because of capital controls. The South Korean market is isolated from the global market and foreigners are not allowed in it. Conversely, South Korean traders cannot open accounts overseas without proper paperwork.
