According to a report by South Korea's SBS News, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of South Korea has adjusted the amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Specific Financial Information Act, removing the mandatory reporting obligation for virtual asset transfers exceeding 10 million won, and instead allowing exchanges to manage risks independently. The original proposal required domestic operators to report to the FIU when transferring more than 10 million won abroad, regardless of the level of risk. After adopting industry opinions, the FIU decided to cancel the mandatory reporting and instead require companies to establish internal risk management systems.Other adjustments include: the scope of the Travel Rule will be expanded from amounts over 1 million won to all amounts; the strengthened customer verification for high-risk suspicious transactions will change from mandatory to only being executed when the company assesses the risk to be particularly high; small businesses will be given a one-year grace period for the reporting condition of a debt ratio not exceeding 200%; the requirement for anti-money laundering computer equipment to be located domestically will allow the use of overseas cloud services.

The tokenized asset platform RootData has released the "Exchange Tokenized Asset Provider and License Map," systematically sorting the paths and regulatory licenses of providers and brokers in mainstream exchanges such as Binance, Gate, Bitget, and Bybit for products like real stocks, TradFi stocks, CFD contracts, and tokenized stocks. The map shows that the current stock-type assets on exchanges have gradually formed a three-tier structure: real stock spot mainly relies on a regulated brokerage system for securities execution and custody; TradFi stocks are primarily based on CFDs/Perps; tokenized stocks are mainly supported by solutions like Ondo and xStocks. Among them, Binance currently accesses Alpaca Securities through Nest Trading to provide real US stock/ETF exposure and has launched Ondo stock tokens in the Alpha zone, with plans to introduce bStocks later; Gate's real stock collaboration is with AIpaca, CFDs adopt the MT5 model, and perpetual contracts are self-operated by the platform; Bybit currently mainly uses the Backed Finance (xStocks) solution; Bitget provides 1:1 US stock/ETF tokenized products through its own Reality (rToken) brand. RootData believes that as the tokenized stock market heats up, competition among exchanges is gradually shifting from merely launching products to underlying broker capabilities, real securities custody, and regulatory license capabilities, with licensed brokers like Alpaca Securities strengthening their infrastructure roles across multiple platform ecosystems.
