A South Korean lawmaker has claimed that the nation’s leading crypto exchanges are “neglecting their responsibilities to protect investors.”


According to a report from Daehan Geumyoong Shinmun, the comments came from Min Byeong-deok.


Min is a member of the National Assembly’s Political Affairs Committee.


The MP, a member of the main opposition Democratic Party, took aim at the five exchanges that make up the Digital Asset Exchange Association (DAXA).


DAXA is a self-regulating body that makes decisions on a range of matters, including token listing and desisting policies. Min said:

DAXA’s reputation has taken a series of blows in recent months, due mainly to apparent divisions between exchanges’ policies.
