TechFlame News - According to Cointelegraph, 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 cryptocurrency trading.
The algorithm employs a sliding window grid search technique to automatically identify potential price manipulation intervals, reducing reliance on manual investigations. Performance tests have shown that the system successfully detected all known manipulation periods and previously hard-to-identify abnormal intervals.
The Financial Supervisory Service has allocated a budget of 170 million won (approximately $116,000) for AI performance upgrades in 2026. Future plans include automatically identifying coordinated trading account networks, analyzing abnormal trading patterns across thousands of cryptocurrency assets, and tracing the sources of manipulation funds.
