Prema a report from South Korean Newschannel “Newspim” on Tuesday, 17. maja, at a plenary meeting of the National Assembly’s Political Affairs Committee, Yoon Chang-Hyeon stated;
Trebalo bi da dovedemo u Narodnu skupštinu povezane zvaničnike berze, uključujući generalnog direktora Do Kvona kompanije Terra, koja je nedavno postala problem, da održi saslušanje o uzroku situacije i merama za zaštitu investitora.

The Terra blockchain experienced a crisis starting on May 7 when the US dollar value of its algorithmic stablecoin, UST, started to decrease. This continued over the following days until UST hit a low of below 10 cents. The Luna token, which is native to the Terra blockchain, also lost a lot of its value and is currently trading at just fractions of a cent.
According to Yoon Chang-Hyeon, something raises questions about exchanging behavior during the market crash.
On je rekao;
Coinone, Korbit and Gopax stopped trading on May 10, Bithumb on May 11, but Upbit did not stop trading until May 13,” he said. “Upbit, which was the last to stop trading even after seeing the crash, is the No. 1 company with an 80% share. In just those three days, it earned close to 10 billion won [$7.8 million] in commission income.
Furthermore, he said that as time goes on and legislation is delayed, the investors’ loss increases. As a result, authorities are watching the loss of digital assets with helplessness.
Emergency Inspections Of Terra Collapse
Prema Novinska agencija Yonhap, on Tuesday, local financial regulators began “emergency inspections” of local crypto exchanges to improve investor protection following the collapse of the UST.
As per the industry sources, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and the Financial Supervisory Service asked cryptocurrency exchange operators to share overall transactions, including volume of trading, their closing prices, and the number of relevant investors linked to TerraUSD and Luna. In addition, regulatory authorities also asked them to provide countermeasures to the market crash and analyze what caused the collapse.
An anonymous official of a local crypto exchange told Yonhap;
Last week, financial authorities asked for data on the amount of transactions and investors and sized up the exchanges’ relevant measures. I think they did it to draw up measures to minimize the damage to investors in the future.
