South Korean Court Overturns AML Sanction on Upbit Operator

[madtrader]

A South Korean court has ruled in favor of Dunamu, canceling a three-month business suspension previously imposed by regulators. The decision effectively lifts restrictions on Upbit, allowing it to continue onboarding new users without limitations.

The court found that while clear AML rules existed for larger transactions, guidelines for smaller transfers were too vague, weakening the regulator’s case. This ruling highlights a critical issue in crypto regulation: enforcement becomes difficult when compliance expectations are not clearly defined.
