Feb. 9 (Reuters) – South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) chief Lee Kang-hee said the cryptocurrency sector has structural vulnerabilities requiring urgent stronger regulation, following a recent Bithumb incident where customers received over $40 billion in Bitcoin by mistake. Lee emphasized users who received tokens from the accidental disbursement are legally required to return the assets. The FSS also took a cautious stance on “ghost tokens” and Bitcoin spot ETF products, adding it plans to broaden regulatory oversight through secondary legislation for the “Digital Asset Basic Law.”

February 9th, SY Lee—co-founder of Story Protocol—addressed the delay of the project’s first large-scale IP token unlock to August 2026, noting the blockchain network still needs “more time” to build real-world use cases. The six-month extension will keep team and investor tokens locked to reduce short-term circulating supply pressure. Lee stated near-zero current on-chain revenue fails to accurately reflect Story’s business situation. Its model doesn’t depend on gas fees; instead, it offers permissioned AI training data generated by humans off-chain. He noted the project is shifting from tokenizing media content to “non-scrapable” human contribution data and enterprise partnerships. This adjustment has cut short-term visible on-chain revenue but is designed to unlock long-term commitments and ease token supply pressure. (CoinDesk)
