According to CoinMarketCap, South Korea is extending its crypto Travel Rule to include transactions under KRW 1,000,000 (about $680), closing a loophole where users split transfers to avoid reporting requirements. Source: CoinMarketCap (Twitter, Nov 28, 2025). Under the Travel Rule, virtual asset service providers must collect and transmit originator and beneficiary information for covered transfers, so bringing sub-KRW 1M transfers into scope means more small exchange and wallet transfers will require identity data at the time of transfer.

For traders, this extension entails stricter screening on deposits and withdrawals across Korean exchanges and offshore venues once implemented, increasing traceability and reducing the effectiveness of structuring via split transfers.
