It is very unlike that South Korea will attempt to shut down Bitcoin exchanges. As far as I know, a lot of Korea citizens have been investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies lately. For me, it is another fake news which aim was to lower the Bitcoin price like China and Russia did. Don't you think that some governments are spreading FUD in order to prepare for the "crypto cold war"? I wouldn't be surprised if they soon started to create huge mining farms and even their own fork of Bitcoin.

It's most likely a rumour. In my country there were same rumours about the government banning Bitcoins. Few newspaper even stated that it has been banned but the thing is it's very hard to completely shut something down in a democracy. And even if Korea bans Bitcoins, crypto currencies won't have any permanent damage, just like China who's market as people said in their posts before is much bigger than Korean market and still Bitcoin stood stronger than ever.

Based on my observations Korean will shut down the bitcoin exchange in their country because bitcoin replaced their currency and if they allow bitcoin their currency will be down and their country will also be down that's why they banned bitcoin in theory country that is for the sake of their country. Many country will do this also when their currencies is replaced by bitcoin
South Korea is not banning bitcoin or the exchanges. The exchanges at South Korea has been unregulated for years. Now they have decided to ban "anonymous" crypto currency trading. Note that they will not allow anonymous trading, which means that you will only be allowed to trade if you have your identification verified. So all exchanges will now be regulated and will need to have verified users. They will also need to give all information about their users to their local banks.

They said it was fake, and there were good news yesterday.
Yes there is some news that spread about this matter. I am looking forward that it not may happen since korea is one of the biggest investor in bitcoin.

They did not ban or shut down all the exchanges in there, they just created some kind of "regulation" over them, and to all cryptos in general.

I do not know if you are just randomly posting in here, or if you are really interested. But that is the real truth.

They were thinking to totally ban crypto but I assume they found out that this wont be a good step forward for them. Thats why now they are planning to regulate it.

Currently there are some news report about korean government. The report say the government there has great concern on bitcoin. Bitcoin has been very popular in korean. What we saw is that the price of altcoin is much higher in korean than the average around the world. However, the unconfirmed message about government's decision now gave a bit hit on bitcoin price. What we saw these two days is the continuous decreasing of all in the market. What if korean really close up exchange? It may pull the price down to zero!!!! I guese. So, do you think whether korean would shut down bitcoin exchange? Would that also lead other governments(like US or China) to close exchange? what if all exchanges are closed up in the world?  Cry Cry Cry
Korean government has been earlier thinking about completely banning bitcoin and other crypto currencies.But recent update is that it has just decided to regulate cryptos.

Even if south korea totally shuts don bitcoin exchanges,even then it would not make bitcoin price go to zero.Instead,it would have a small impact on bitcoin price.

I think the korean government will just close it temporarily and will put some regulations on it. Korean government wants to control the exchanges on their country to prevent abusive actions from the people and protect people from some scams and frauds. I've heard that 5% of bitcoins in circulation is under that exchanges which is kinda alarming for the community.

You do not need to worry regarding on this issue. The Korean Government does is to create a regulation regarding in Bitcoin or with other Altcoins. Regarding the market value of Bitcoin, it is normal that the value goes down but do not worry, expect it to rise up again.

What if korean really close up exchange? It may pull the price down to zero!!!! I guese.

sometimes when an incident (news) is new and you have nothing else in the history to compare it to, you may "guesses". but when there is a perfectly clear example in the history you simple compare it with that one. and when there are multiple instances of it then you can be sure of the same result.

in this case Chinese market was 100 times bigger than Korean's ever was. Chinese government closed their exchanges a couple of months ago back when bitcoin price was still around $2000-$4000.
the result? a tiny price drop followed by the biggest rally of the year up to $20,000!

We both are on the same page. We have been hearing this news from quite some time. It is true that bitcoin and altcoin's value in Korean exchanges are really higher than any other exchange, almost 30% higher. So the risk of money laundering is way higher in the Korean exchanges compared to any other exchange. However, the Korean government has not yet come up with any concrete notification about this ban. It is speculated that Korean government will ban bitcoin and altcoin exchange like bithumb or Kraken, but no one knows for sure.

The whole crypto revolves around Asia, so any negative impact on Korea will affect its neighboring countries as well. But there are Big players from Korea, so let's not worry about it, No one will shut a trillion dollar business.

I have an organization ready to replace any closed down exchanges in the world. there has been no indications of all the governments trying to work together to close down cryptocurrency exchanges, they are manipulating the market, they can earn Millions when prices are going down.
(note, even if they could shut down all the exchanges, my activity tokens will be there to trade, on Waves decentralized exchange, I told you that I have deved a Bitcoin killer didn't I?).

South Korean news today in my country also began to spread, don't have to worry about this problem, just like last year's China closed exchange, everyone thought that a bear market, but the btc reached $20000,
After banning,  closing and avoiding bitcoins in their country but bitcoin still stand up alone with the higher price. They don't have power to do that even China can't do that. Creating exchanges is also a business and innovating our mind and manpower to make our life easy. We can't lose our bitcoins by just closing exchanges,  they need proofs and reasons why they need to close those exchanges.

I doubt it, south koea would not totaly shudown cryptocurrency. Intead of shutting it down, i think they would rather regulate the use of cryptocurrency in their market to even gain tax from cryptocurrencies.

This was fake, and they have already said that it all was a huge FAKE, in fact, i think that the own government said that it was false.

It was only a bad move to make the price go down, and it did. Because all my entire portfolio is down by more than 30% at the moment.

And all those altcoins that i purchased after the dip, are down too, let's see when it is going to recover because i am a little bit tired of this dip.

60% of the Ripple market is in southern korea, it was the most affected ripple. I think for Ripple these days are very good days, this week things have been very interesting. I hear that you are more interesting developments in February.
