9 Dec 2025 Dunamu Inc.Upbit operator Dunamu: KRW 35.2bn fine for customer due diligence failures South KoreaCustomer due diligence €20.6m

The KoFIU (Korea Financial Intelligence Unit) found that Dunamu, operator of the crypto exchange Upbit, had failed to identify customers with due care in 5,324,165 cases between October 2021 and October 2024, for instance where identity documents could not be verified, were mere copies or photos, or where addresses were blank or implausible, and had nevertheless allowed transactions in 3,331,570 of these cases. In addition, it failed to file suspicious transaction reports on 15 customers linked to warrant applications by investigative authorities, and its monitoring system did not detect unusual patterns such as large crypto deposits followed by sale and withdrawal; KoFIU imposed a fine of KRW 35,215.6 million on 9 December 2025. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
