South Korea Forces Google to Ban 17 Foreign Cryptocurrency Exchanges....

The South Korean government pressured Google to ban 17 foreign cryptocurrency exchanges, including KuCoin and MEXC, to protect local investors. The campaign aims to enforce strict regulations on exchanges not registered with the Financial Services Commission (FSC), targeting fraud and money laundering. The ban strengthens the position of the local Upbit exchange, which dominates the cryptocurrency market in South Korea, and may attract more institutional investments.
