Korean crypto exchanges may delist Litecoin
Reportedly South Korean crypto exchanges are looking to delist Litecoin because of the introduction of privacy features in the transactions.

The coding of Litecoin is same as Bitcoin and also it is based upon the Proof-of-Work Consensus like bitcoin.
On 23 May, Bithumb and Upbit crypto exchanges published its statement on Litecoin as a warning for the crypto investors, which trades or invests in Litecoin.
Bithumb exchange stated that Introduction of a new privacy feature to the transactions of Litecoin is helpful for the Litecoin users to facilitate anonymous funds transactions with full anonymity.
The Warning Statement on Litecoin was also following the similar thing on Litecoin, by the Upbit exchange.
Both of these two exchanges took the reference of the Korea’s Act on the Reporting and Use of Specific Financial Transaction Information, to prohibit the illegal fund transactions by taking the following the know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) procedures.
