South Korea limits crypto-sales

amsterdam - South Korea stops crypto buying via anonymous bank accounts. With this, the country wants to embrace coins like bitcoin, but above all limit the money laundering of criminals.

The surgery will start on 30 January. In the country the trade has taken a big flight among private individuals. There is hardly any supervision on trade in bitcoins and other currencies. Those who want to do a transaction must now identify themselves with their bank in South Korea.

Bitcoin declined again Tuesday to $ 10. 000 each on platform Coindesk. On the own market at trading platform Bithumb, the bitcoin was 3.4% lower at $ 12. 699.

These are the other most traded coins at coindesk around a quarter to four Tuesday.
