According to the Korea Economic Daily, the National Police Agency of South Korea has formed a special task force to combat money laundering involving cryptocurrencies, led by the head of the Economic Crime Investigation Division, with participation from the Cyber Crime Investigation Division, Cyber Terrorism Response Division, Violent Crime Investigation Division, Drug Crime Investigation Division, and Criminal Intelligence Division. The police pointed out that Tether is being abused as an illegal money laundering tool, with unregistered virtual asset exchange operators spreading throughout Seoul.

The police plan to treat money laundering as an independent crime and apply violations of the Specific Financial Information Act to unregistered virtual asset service providers. The police have also secured a budget of 100 million won for cryptocurrency tracking training. Previously, some bank accounts linked to domestic exchanges were suspected of being used as money laundering channels due to the removal of daily deposit limits (increased from 5 million won to 500 million won).
