Media CoverageDecent Law Firm Conducts 6th Compliance and Ethics Training on Virtual Assets for Crypto Media Group
Decent Law Firm announced that on October 21, 2025, it delivered the 6th Virtual Asset Compliance and Ethics Training program for the executives and employees of Crypto Media Group Co., Ltd. This training was designed as a practical program aimed at preventing legal risks in the virtual asset industry while strengthening corporate ethical decision-making frameworks and internal control systems. The session was held offline at Decent Law Firm’s headquarters, with key operational staff from Crypto Media Group in attendance. Discussions focused on legal standards and response strategies that can be applied immediately in day-to-day operations. The training covered major legal and ethical issues frequently encountered in the virtual asset sector, including legal risks relating to cryptocurrency transactions, duties of good faith and contractual performance, protection of internal information and conflict-of-interest management, and legal standards for determining fraudulent practices. It also incorporated key provisions of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act, the Capital Markets Act, and the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information (the “AML Act”), along with an overview of the principal issues under the proposed Digital Asset Framework Act currently pending before the National Assembly. Based on these laws, the session provided concrete operational guidelines and internal control measures for running a compliant and transparent virtual-asset business. Mr. Seonghwan Kim, CEO of Crypto Media Group, stated, “As the virtual asset industry continues to integrate into the regulatory mainstream, enhancing compliance awareness among our employees and partners is essential to maintaining corporate trust. We plan to strengthen our risk-management systems and conduct regular training in cooperation with Decent Law Firm.” Mr. Hyunsoo Jin, Managing Partner of Decent Law Firm, added, “The virtual asset industry remains in a transitional period where legal standards are still developing. During such times, it becomes even more important for businesses to establish their own compliance principles and operate responsibly within clear boundaries.” Decent Law Firm provides specialized advisory and dispute-resolution services to domestic and global exchanges, Web3 projects, and investment firms across virtual assets, blockchain, and cross-border transactions. Building on this training program, the firm plans to further expand its regular compliance-education offerings to promote a culture of voluntary compliance and responsible governance in the virtual asset industry.

디센트 법률사무소는 지난 21일, ㈜크립토미디어그룹 임직원을 대상으로 ‘제6회 가상화폐 준법교육 및 윤리교육’을 진행했다고 밝혔다. 이번 교육은 가상화폐 산업에서의 법적 리스크를 예방하고, 기업 내부의 윤리적 의사결정 체계와 내부통제 시스템을 강화하기 위한 실무 중심 프로그램으로 마련됐다. 교육은 디센트 법률사무소에서 오프라인으로 진행됐으며, ㈜크립토미디어그룹 실무진이 참석해 현장에서 즉시 적용 가능한 법적 기준과 대응 전략을 중심으로 논의가 이뤄졌다. 이번 교육에서는 가상화폐 관련 법적 리스크, 신의성실의 원칙과 계약상 의무 이행, 내부정보 보호와 이해상충 방지, 기망행위의 법적 판단 기준 등 가상자산 산업에서 빈번히 발생하는 주요 법률·윤리 이슈가 다뤄졌다. 또한 가상자산이용자보호법, 자본시장법, 특정금융정보법(특금법) 등 관련 주요 법령의 핵심 내용을 반영하고, 현재 국회에 발의된 디지털자산기본법의 주요 쟁점을 함께 점검하며 기업이 합법적이고 투명한 방식으로 사업을 운영하기 위한 구체적 행동 기준과 내부통제 절차를 제시했다. ㈜크립토미디어그룹 김성환 대표는 “가상자산 산업이 제도권으로 편입되고 있는 상황에서, 임직원 및 회사관계자들의 컴플라이언스 인식 제고는 기업 신뢰도 확보의 핵심”이라며 “앞으로도 디센트 법률사무소와의 협력을 통해 정기적인 교육과 리스크 대응 체계를 강화해 나갈 계획”이라고 밝혔다. 디센트 법률사무소 진현수 대표변호사는 “가상자산 산업은 여전히 법적 기준이 완전히 정립되지 않은 과도기에 있다”며 “이럴 때일수록 사업자 스스로 준법의 원칙을 세우고, 명확한 기준 안에서 책임 있게 운영하는 것이 중요하다”고 말했다. 디센트 법률사무소는 가상화폐, 블록체인, 국제거래 분야를 중심으로 국내외 거래소, 프로젝트, 투자사 등 다양한 클라이언트에 전문 자문과 분쟁 대응 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 이번 교육을 계기로 가상화폐 산업 내 자율준수 문화와 책임경영 체계 확립을 위한 정기 교육 프로그램을 확대해 나갈 계획이다.
