South Korea's Financial Services Commission has proposed a draft amendment to include cryptocurrency assets in the compensation scope for victims of telecom fraud. The amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Special Act on the Prevention of Telecommunications Financial Fraud aims to clarify the return and valuation standards for crypto assets, with implementation set for October 1. Under the new rules, victims will be compensated in the same type and amount of assets if the frozen assets are cryptocurrency. If the defrauded assets differ from the frozen ones, compensation will be made using the assets held at the time of account freezing. In mixed cases of cash and crypto, the valuation will be based on the market price at the time of freezing. The public consultation period for this draft amendment is open until August 24.
