The Korean regulator bases its decision on the updated FATF guidelines
The reason behind the decision to not to regulate NFTs came after reviewing the updated Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines. The FATF's report said, "NFT or crypto-collectibles depending on their characteristics are generally not considered to be Virtual Assets." On November 5, an official from a branch of the FSC told reporters, "Due to the FATF position on NFT regulation, we will not issue regulations for NFTs."The Korean financial regulator based its decision on the fact that the FATF considers NFTs to be "unique rather than interchangeable" and that they are used as collectibles not as a currency.
Not everyone is happy with the decision
Not everyone agrees. In the South Korean media experts claim that NFT prices can be manipulated and used to launder money. Since they are not considered virtual assets, issuers do not have to meet anti-money laundering obligations. Koreans also do not have to pay taxes on NFTs, although they will pay taxes on cryptocurrencies starting next year.Dunamu and its new partner Hybe, on the other hand, should be pleased with this decision, as they plan to enter the NFT arena with collectibles based on the wildly popular K-pop group BTS. Hybe is the entertainment conglomerate behind the group and recently announced that it will acquire a 2.5% stake in Dunamu valued at $423.1 million. Dunamu will acquire a 5.6% stake in Hybe worth $592.4 million as part of the deal. The BTS NFT photocards will be available on Weverse, the app that connects K-Pop fans to their favorite bands and singers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
