South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service has upgraded its virtual asset trading analysis intelligence system, VISTA, and introduced an automated detection algorithm to combat improper crypto trading. The algorithm uses a sliding window grid search technique to automatically identify potential price manipulation periods, reducing reliance on manual investigations. Performance tests show that the system has successfully detected all known manipulation periods and previously difficult-to-detect anomalies. The Financial Supervisory Service has allocated 170 million won (approximately US$116,000) for AI performance upgrades in 2026. Future plans include automatically identifying networks of coordinated trading accounts, analyzing anomalous transaction text for thousands of crypto assets, and tracing the source of manipulated funds.
