South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced its 2026 work plan focusing on strict regulation of virtual asset markets, including special probes into price manipulation and misinformation spread via social media. The FSS will set up an information disclosure system aligned with the upcoming Digital Asset Basic Act and use AI tools to detect suspicious transactions automatically. Enhanced cybersecurity measures and punitive fines for IT lapses in financial institutions are also part of the plan to safeguard market integrity.
