Dunamu Holds Seminar with Police University to Combat Virtual Asset Crimes

Ongoing Joint Research to Strengthen Investigative Capabilities in Financial Crimes

Dunamu, operator of the virtual asset exchange Upbit, announced on the 6th that it co-hosted the "Public-Private Cooperation Seminar for Responding to Digital Financial Crimes" with the Financial Crime Analysis Center of the Korean National Police University on April 3. According to Dunamu, this event marks the first joint academic conference organized to establish a cooperative system between law enforcement agencies and private exchanges.

At the seminar, Yunjung Jeong, lawyer at Dunamu, shared expertise on operating abnormal transaction detection systems (FDS) at virtual asset exchanges and presented examples of cooperation in asset freezing, emphasizing that practical experience in proactive crime prevention within the private sector can contribute to investigations. Professor Junbae Seo of the Korean National Police University compared and analyzed cases from major countries such as the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Japan, which are responding to transnational scams, and proposed a Korean model for tackling these crimes.

Moving forward, Dunamu and the Financial Crime Analysis Center at the Korean National Police University plan to continue joint research to strengthen investigative capabilities in virtual asset crimes and to institutionalize continuous collaboration channels between the public and private sectors.

Junbae Seo, head of the Financial Crime Analysis Center at the Korean National Police University, stated, "Virtual asset crimes fundamentally differ from conventional financial crimes, making it essential to leverage private sector expertise through active partnerships. I hope this seminar serves as a starting point for creating an investigative environment that meets public expectations."

A Dunamu representative said, "We will further strengthen our cooperation with the police to enhance transparency in virtual asset transactions and protect users," adding, "As a private exchange, we will continue to fulfill our social responsibility to create a safe digital financial ecosystem."
