High Risk: Addresses flagged as high risk indicate a strong association with suspicious activity and potential involvement in fraudulent schemes. Caution is advised when dealing with such addresses.
Suspicious: Addresses classified as suspicious may have some indicators of potential risks. Although not necessarily indicative of illicit activities, it is advisable to exercise caution and further scrutiny when engaging with these addresses.
Medium Risk: Addresses labeled as medium risk suggest a moderate level of potential risk. While not as alarming as high-risk addresses, it is still prudent to proceed with caution.
Low Risk: Addresses categorized as low risk indicate minimal or negligible potential risk, providing a higher level of confidence in their legitimacy.

Seven large domestic securities companies in South Korea have filed to open exchanges for Bitcoin and other digital assets in the first half of 2023.

The two brokerages mentioned in the report are Samsung Securities and Mirae Asset Securities with 5 other companies left unnamed.

Samsung already made an attempt to establish a crypto platform last year and still continues to look for ways to enter the digital financial ecosystem. Mirae is currently the largest South Korean investment bank by market capitalization with around $648 billion in managed assets. The company plans to research blockchain-based platforms and establish a subsidiary to operate their exchange.

Many South Korean institutions turned their attention to cryptocurrencies after the election of the new president Yoon Suk-Yeol who promised to deregulate the Bitcoin and crypto markets on his campaign trail.
