BlockBeats News, September 5th, according to Newsprime report, South Korea's financial regulatory authorities have introduced the first virtual asset loan service guide. Due to intensified exchange competition leading to increased investor risks, the regulators have completely banned leverage and cash loans, established individual limits and fee caps, and prevented similar short-selling behaviors. On the 5th, the Financial Services Commission of South Korea announced that it will implement a self-regulatory Virtual Asset Loan Service Guide developed by the Financial Supervisory Service and DAXA. The new guide focuses on three core aspects: service scope restriction, user protection, and market stability. The guide explicitly prohibits over-leveraging and Korean won cash loans, requiring exchanges to use their own assets to provide services and prohibiting third-party trusteeship or indirect lending models.

Regarding the enhancement of user protection measures, first-time users must complete DAXA's online education and suitability test, with loan limits ranging from 30 million to 70 million Korean won based on trading experience differences; advance notice is required before forced liquidation risks occur, and additional margin deposits are allowed; the annual interest rate must not exceed 20%, and it is mandatory to publicly disclose the lending status and liquidation cases for each currency. In terms of market stability measures, the loan target is limited to the top 20 assets by market capitalization or assets listed on three or more Korean won exchanges, excluding trading warning types and suspicious currencies; internal control mechanisms are required to prevent market fluctuations caused by excessive concentration of specific assets.
