South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service said it will step up crypto market supervision and impose tougher penalties for IT failures after Bithumb accidentally sent 620,000 BTC to users, launching targeted probes into whale-driven price manipulation, API-based pump tactics, and false social-media info while forming a task force to prepare disclosure, exchange licensing, and stablecoin rules under the forthcoming Digital Asset Basic Act.
