  South Korea has implemented strict regulations to govern the use of digital currencies. The government has established the Virtual Currency Act, which requires cryptocurrency exchanges to register with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. This ensures that exchanges operate in a transparent and secure manner, protecting investors and preventing illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. The government also conducts regular inspections of exchanges to ensure compliance with these regulations.
