Korean cryptocurrency exchanges have faced several difficulties in recent months as the country’s regulatory climate has changed. South Korea’s Special Funds Act was amended this spring, requiring them to work with local banks to guarantee that traders are given real-name accounts by September 24, when the new regulations take effect.
On the other hand, leading financial institutions have been hesitant to engage with cryptocurrency trading platforms for fear of being exposed to fraud, money laundering, hacking, and other dangers associated with cryptocurrencies. So far, only the four biggest exchanges, Upbit, Bithumb, Korbit, and Coinone, have been able to form such a partnership with commercial banks. The NH Nonghyup Bank serves Bithumb.
