Crypto firms are struggling in South Korea
韩国两大交易所营收利润大幅下滑及Polymarket被禁，反映韩国加密监管收紧与市场低迷，值得关注其对亚洲加密市场情绪与合规趋势的影响。
South Korean crypto exchanges Upbit and Bithumb have seen revenues plummet in the first half of the year amid a wider downturn for crypto companies in the country. Meanwhile, South Korea has also banned prediction market Polymarket after concluding that its operations constitute illegal gambling.
韩国加密货币交易所Upbit和Bithumb今年上半年收入大幅下滑，正值该国加密货币公司普遍低迷之际。同时，韩国还禁止了预测市场Polymarket，认定其运营构成非法赌博。
The Block reports that Bithumb recorded an operating profit of 14.9 billion won ($11 million), down 83% from last year’s profit of 90.1 billion won ($64 million).
The Block报道称，Bithumb录得营业利润149亿韩元（约1100万美元），较去年901亿韩元（约6400万美元）的利润下降了83%。
Its operating revenue this year is 168.8 billion won ($120 million), down almost 49% from last year’s 329.2 billion won ($233 million).
其今年营业收入为1688亿韩元（约1.2亿美元），较去年3292亿韩元（约2.33亿美元）下降近49%。
It also suffered a net loss this year of 108.7 billion won ($77 million).
今年还遭受了1087亿韩元（约7700万美元）的净亏损。

Upbit parent company Dunamu reported a similar drop in operating revenue. It made 408.1 billion won ($289 million) in the first half of this year, a drop of 49% from last year’s 801.9 billion won ($568 million).
Upbit母公司Dunamu报告了类似的营业收入下降。今年上半年收入为4081亿韩元（约2.89亿美元），较去年8019亿韩元（约5.68亿美元）下降49%。
Its operating profits were 111.5 billion won ($79 million), an almost 80% drop from 549.1 billion won ($389 million) last year.
其营业利润为1115亿韩元（约7900万美元），较去年5491亿韩元（约3.89亿美元）下降近80%。
Dunamu said, “The recent decline in performance is attributed to a contraction in liquidity across the global digital asset market, which has led to a weakening of investor sentiment.”
Dunamu表示：“近期业绩下滑归因于全球数字资产市场流动性收缩，导致投资者情绪减弱。”
South Korea finds Polymarket is a gambling firm
韩国认定Polymarket为赌博公司
Meanwhile, crypto-based Polymarket has been banned after South Korea’s Media and Communications Commission concluded the platform’s operations constitute illegal gambling.
与此同时，基于加密货币的Polymarket被禁止，因为韩国媒体与通信委员会认定该平台的运营构成非法赌博。
The regulator claimed Polymarket crossed an information threshold that is classed as gambling under the Criminal Act and National Sports Promotion Act.
监管机构声称，Polymarket跨越了根据《刑法》和《国民体育振兴法》被归类为赌博的信息门槛。
It found that Polymarket’s use of yes-or-no contracts encourages speculative behavior where winnings are reliant on events out of users’ control.
委员会发现，Polymarket使用“是或否”合约鼓励投机行为，其中赢取结果依赖于用户无法控制的事件。

Polymarket argued that it doesn’t manage user funds, that it removed Korean-language services, and that it doesn’t support South Korea’s won fiat currency.
Polymarket辩称，它不管理用户资金，已移除韩语服务，并且不支持韩元法定货币。
However, the commission said, “Technical features or service methods cannot exempt a platform from domestic legal compliance. Since Polymarket provides a real illegal gambling environment to domestic users, access blocking is unavoidable to protect them.”
然而，委员会表示：“技术特性或服务方式不能免除平台遵守国内法律的责任。由于Polymarket向国内用户提供了真实的非法赌博环境，为了保护他们，阻止访问是不可避免的。”
