We will always have some kind of legal issue related to cryptocurrency - it's the name of the game here.
There are no real issues. People were also going nuts over that South Korea will ban anonymous trading. News articles tried their best to make it look like it's bad news, while in reality it's a pretty understandable move. It just means that if you want to trade crypto currencies, that you need to verify yourself, and that's all. It's basically the same as what western exchanges have been doing with their stricter AML and KYC policies. In this case it's not called anonymous trading is banned, that's the only real difference. News sites are looking for sensation based articles, and the term banned helps in getting their so loved clicks.
