CoinVoice has recently learned that according to iNews24, starting next year, South Korea's virtual asset service providers, including Dunamu (Upbit), Bithumb and Coinone, will be required to pay regulatory fees.
The decision comes after the State Council approved the amendments to the executive order of the Financial Services Commission (FSC) Establishment Law on December 3. The regulatory fee is calculated based on operating income and is paid by financial institutions such as banks, investment companies, and insurance companies to cover the FSC's inspection and supervision services.
