These apps, which include well-known platforms like KuCoin and MEXC, are now unavailable for download or updates on Google Play for South Korean users.<\/p>\n<p>The FSC clarified that these exchanges were operating without the necessary local registrations and were specifically targeting South Korean users. By blocking these apps, the government aims to combat potential money laundering risks and protect local users from potential harm linked to unregulated foreign platforms.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/trump-media-teams-up-with-crypto-com-to-launch-digital-asset-etfs\/\" title=\"Trump Media Teams Up with Crypto.com to Launch Digital Asset ETFs\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/181011114942-donald-trump-super-169-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Trump Media Teams Up with Crypto.com to Launch Digital Asset ETFs<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>The list of affected exchanges includes KuCoin, MEXC, Phemex, and others.
