South Korea blocks 2 crypto firms as illegal operator tally hits 47

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit has asked for domestic access restrictions on two unregistered crypto businesses and referred three operators for investigation over suspected financial law violations. The move brings the country's tally of illegal operators to 47, according to a Yonhap News Agency report. Traders should watch for tighter enforcement in one of Asia's largest crypto markets, which could pressure unregistered exchanges and their users.
