•Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
•Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.

Echo Evidence Brief

Plain-language explanation for first-time readers — side-by-side echo comparison, verbatim primary-source excerpts, and X-discourse discovery context (not tier evidence).

FATF published the global instrument first (Global precedent precedes Korea; 2024–2027). 금융위원회(FSC) then adopted Korean text using the same policy vocabulary. Matched terms: "FATF Travel Rule" ↔ "FATF 여행규칙"; "VASP regulation" ↔ "VASP 규제"; "AML screening" ↔ "AML 심사". Read the side-by-side comparison and verbatim primary-source excerpts below.

The FATF Recommendations (especially R.15 on VASPs and the Travel^① Rule) oblige jurisdictions to regulate virtual asset service providers, mandate originator/beneficiary information sharing, and screen cross-border transactions; member states amend financial intelligence and asset protection laws to implement these standards.

FATF Recommendations · R.15 VASPs & R.16 Travel Rule

The FATF Recommendations (especially R.15 on VASPs and the Travel Rule) oblige jurisdictions to regulate virtual asset service providers, mandate originator/beneficiary information sharing, and screen cross-border transactions; member states amend financial intelligence and asset protection laws to implement these standards. Recommendation 16 requires originating VASPs to obtain, hold, and transmit required originator and beneficiary information to the beneficiary VASP when transferring virtual assets.
