Recently, an interesting incident has been circulating in the Korean exchange circle. According to reports, the son of a politician received an internship offer from a major exchange, and shortly after, this individual made a series of accusations against the operator of another leading exchange in the parliament—claiming market monopoly and compliance issues.

Sounds a bit familiar, right? So it's natural for outsiders to make some associations. However, the involved party denied these claims, stating that they were simply offering opinions on market competition based on anti-monopoly principles, without naming anyone, so please don't jump to conclusions.

Anyway, this incident touches on a core topic: the market position and compliance ecosystem of leading exchanges. Platforms like Bithumb and Upbit indeed hold significant influence in South Korea's crypto market. Issues such as market concentration, user protection mechanisms, and policy compliance have long been hot topics in the industry. This recent controversy also reflects the outside world's concern about exchange transparency and fair competition environments.
