On April 30, the Personal Information Protection Commission of South Korea launched an investigation into the country's two largest virtual asset trading platforms, Upbit and Bithumb. The focus is on whether their practice of sharing order books with overseas trading platforms involves the cross-border transmission of personal information. The investigation has completed written inquiries and on-site inspections and has entered the final judgment phase, with results expected to be announced in the second half of 2026, potentially facing administrative sanctions. Upbit primarily shares its stablecoin market order book with affiliated companies in Southeast Asia, while Bithumb previously engaged in similar sharing with the Australian trading platform Stella. This practice is intended to enhance trading liquidity and activity; however, if identifiable user personal information is included in the sharing process, it may violate South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act, which requires user consent for cross-border transmission.

Iranian Foreign Ministry: US Fails to Restrain Israel, Violates Memorandum of Understanding
On June 20, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated that the first clause of the memorandum of understanding, which calls for "ending all wars on all fronts, including Lebanon," is the core pillar of mutual commitment between the parties. While Iran has fulfilled its commitments, the other party should have compelled Israel to cease its military actions in Lebanon; their failure to do so constitutes a clear violation of the agreement. Baghaei noted that although some measures have been taken to lift the maritime blockade and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the memorandum is essentially a "comprehensive package agreement." Violating the first clause raises questions about the entire agreement, and if the other party does not take necessary actions immediately, the entire memorandum will face serious issues.

IRGC: Ready to Inflict a Crushing Defeat on Enemies
On June 19, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement today, asserting that the remarks made by Iran's Supreme Leader Mujtaba regarding the Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding "further solidified the united front of the Iranian people, enabling them and the armed forces to more resolutely safeguard the achievements of victory, and providing invaluable resources for Iranian politicians in their pursuit of national rights." The statement indicated that the aggressors have faced defeat on the battlefield — they once threatened to "wipe Iran off the map" and "send Iran back to the Stone Age," but now they are "desperately retreating to the point of begging for understanding and negotiation," bowing their heads before the Iranian people. The statement warned that if the enemies attempt to make unreasonable demands again, infringing upon the rights of the Iranian nation as they have in the past, the IRGC will be fully prepared to respond with even greater strength across land, sea, air, and all hybrid warfare domains — ready to deliver a more devastating historical defeat to the enemies as soon as the Supreme Leader gives the order.
