Regulators Investigate South Korean Crypto Lending Firm Delio

South Korean Crypto Lending Firm Delio Under Investigation by Regulators

South Korean crypto lending firm Delio is currently under investigation by regulators for allegedly violating the country’s capital market laws. It is reported that the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) are conducting a joint investigation into the firm, which is accused of operating without the necessary licenses and engaging in activities that violate the country’s capital market laws.

Delio is a South Korean-based crypto lending firm that provides peer-to-peer lending services for both crypto and fiat currencies. The firm has been operating in the country since 2018 and has been offering its services to both local and international customers. However, the firm has recently come under fire from regulators for allegedly operating without the necessary licenses.

The FSC and FSS are reportedly investigating Delio for operating without the necessary licenses and engaging in activities that violate the country’s capital market laws. The investigation is still ongoing and it is unclear what the outcome will be. However, if found guilty, Delio could face hefty fines or even be forced to shut down.

This is not the first time that a South Korean crypto firm has been investigated by regulators. In 2019, the FSC and FSS also investigated another crypto firm, Upbit, for allegedly violating capital market laws. Upbit was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing and allowed to continue operating.

It remains to be seen if Delio will be able to avoid similar consequences. The outcome of the investigation will likely have a significant impact on the future of the firm and the South Korean crypto industry as a whole.
