South Korea will make a decision on a proposed ban on cryptocurrency exchanges after "sufficient consultation and coordination of opinions," the country's government said Monday.

Last week, South Korean Justice Minister Park Sang-ki said the government was preparing a bill to ban trading via cryptocurrency exchanges. Two of the country's largest crypto exchanges, Coinone and Bithumb, were also raided on the day Park's comments were made.
