South Korea's National Tax Service is undertaking a comprehensive overhaul of its virtual asset seizure, holding, and sale system following a loss of approximately 6 billion won ($4.4 million) in seized cryptocurrency. According to NS3.AI, the agency aims to enhance the system's stability, connectivity, and expertise. The existing framework has been criticized for its inadequate management of private wallets, dependence on manual seizure requests to exchanges, and insufficient on-site expertise.
