South Korea's digital asset exchanges are pushing back against stricter regulatory requirements. The government has proposed imposing ownership caps on crypto trading platforms, sparking heated debate within the sector.

Multiple exchanges operating in the market have voiced strong opposition to the move. Their main concern: the restrictions could limit operational flexibility and competitiveness. Local platforms argue that such caps might force them to restructure or consolidate, ultimately affecting market participants and trading activity.

The proposal reflects ongoing tension between regulators seeking tighter control and the industry advocating for a more flexible regulatory environment. How this plays out could reshape Korea's position as a crypto hub.

South Korea's recent regulations are becoming increasingly suffocating... --- Once again, it's about position limits. How can exchanges survive? --- Honestly, if this continues, Korea's crypto ecosystem will cool down. --- Regulators and exchanges are arm-wrestling again; neither side wants to lose. --- It feels less like regulation and more like suppression... --- The position cap move might just be pushing people out. --- Why do they always prefer administrative measures? I can't understand. --- It's normal for exchanges to rebound, but the government holds too much power. --- Small and medium platforms might really be pushed out of the market. --- With such strict regulation, big players should be moving to Singapore...

Here we go again, does the South Korean government still want to hold us back? This approach is really getting tired.

Same old story, regulators just like to hold things up --- Is the Korean exchange going to be cut? Now this is interesting --- Holding limit... will anyone really follow the rules? Haha --- Stop talking nonsense, it's just a game of capital and power --- If this really happens, Korean exchanges might bleed --- Singapore is laughing even more happily --- Limiting holdings? Feels like the government is unpredictable --- Exchange shutdown countdown
