South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is upgrading its AI-powered VISTA platform with additional Nvidia H100 GPUs to strengthen real-time detection of crypto market manipulation. The move is intended to sharpen surveillance of suspicious accounts and trading anomalies as regulators intensify oversight of virtual asset markets. The FSS obtained a budget of 170 million Korean won ($117,640 USD) for internal server expansion this year, according to finance authorities on February 16. It intends to use this to acquire one more H100, a high-performance computing GPU from NVIDIA, by the second quarter of this year. The H100, released in 2022, is not the latest model but is one of the most widely used GPUs for AI training. FSS upgrades AI to combat crypto manipulation The FSS bought two H100s and obtained a 220 million Korean won ($152,240 USD) budget for server expansion last year. This enabled the agency to improve “VISTA,” a specialized AI platform launched in 2024 to investigate unfair virtual asset transactions. According to the FSS, the new algorithm examines every potential sub-period in a trading record using a sliding-window grid search. The goal of this method is to enable a thorough examination of possible manipulation windows that investigators had to manually identify in the past. The watchdog said that performance testing on completed investigation cases demonstrated that the technology identified all previously reported manipulation periods and flagged additional suspect intervals that were challenging to identify with traditional analysis. A local news outlet stated that the agency’s goal for this year is to improve the platform’s capacity to identify questionable accounts utilized in coordinated market manipulation. It also aims to create a large language model (LLM) capable of analyzing messages that conspire to trade virtual assets unfairly. The FSS is also reviewing the creation of an independent AI system…
