Svmuu News According to the latest payment and settlement report from the Bank of Korea, it is recommended to introduce a "circuit breaker mechanism" similar to that in the stock market into the local crypto market to address risks associated with extreme price volatility.
The report pointed out that in February, Bithumb mistakenly transferred approximately 620,000 BTC (valued at around $43 billion at the time) due to an operational error, causing the platform's BTC/KRW trading pair to drop by about 15% briefly and resulting in user losses. The Bank of Korea believes this incident reflects that the crypto market still has deficiencies in internal controls and regulation.
Furthermore, the central bank recommended that exchanges establish mechanisms for detecting abnormal trading and swiftly halting it, and to introduce relevant market protection measures in the upcoming "Digital Asset Basic Act." (The Block)
