Dunamu, the operator of the digital asset exchange Upbit, announced on September 2 that its employees were awarded the 56th Customs Commissioner Award for their contributions to investigations into new trade crimes involving the misuse of digital assets.
The Customs Service annually recognizes individuals who have contributed to the advancement of customs administration and the establishment of national economic order on its anniversary.
This year, the award acknowledged the efforts of Dunamu employees who participated in technical support and investigative cooperation during crackdowns on illegal foreign exchange transactions and trade crimes involving digital assets.
The recipients of the award are So Min-seop, head of Dunamu's Financial Data Intelligence (FDI) team, and Kim Sung-yong, a researcher in the FDI team. They have provided technical support and expert advice to the Customs Service in tracking illegal foreign exchange transactions and the movement of criminal proceeds.
In particular, they collaborated to enhance the Customs Service's digital investigation capabilities by analyzing key cases related to digital assets and sharing practical crime analysis know-how with Customs officers and staff.
So Min-seop stated, "In a situation where crimes exploiting digital assets are becoming increasingly sophisticated, it is meaningful to contribute to establishing a sound financial and trade order through cooperation with the Customs Service. We will continue to strengthen professional technical support and public-private collaboration to enhance the transparency and safety of the digital asset ecosystem."
