South Korea's Financial Services Commission is rolling out a new enforcement mechanism to combat market manipulation in crypto markets. The regimen would allow authorities to freeze suspect accounts ahead of withdrawal attempts—essentially locking up gains before they're converted to fiat. It's modeled on existing stock market tools but adapted for the speed and opacity challenges crypto presents. The move aims to sidestep court warrant delays that have historically hampered investigations. Worth monitoring if other jurisdictions adopt similar pre-emptive freezing protocols.
