Litecoin (LTC), a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and open-source software project, faced heat from the top two crypto exchanges in South Korea over the usage of privacy-focused technology. Bithumb and Upbit, two of the nation's biggest crypto exchanges, released warnings against LTC following a major update in the network, which was witnessed earlier this year.

Warnings against Litecoin

As per a previous report from Cryptonary, Litecoin (LTC) welcomed a huge upgrade after two full years called Mimblewimble, which aimed to improve a number of features of the blockchain but was mainly aimed at enhancing the privacy features of the network. With Mimblewimble, users will be able to complete confidential transactions with great ease. 

Bithumb stated that it will follow its "Transaction Support Policy" for investor protection which stipulates that "transaction support should be terminated if it violates laws, government or financial authorities' guidelines or is subject to regulation."

"Accordingly, we plan to designate the virtual asset as a cautionary item for investment in accordance with 'regulation compliance" and "internal policy for investor protection' and finally review whether the transaction support is terminated," said the official warning.
A similar warning was stated by Upbit, while the other two large Korean exchanges, Korbit and Coinone, remain silent on the matter for now. The exchanges pointed out that the privacy features of Litecoin will lead to a breach of Korea's Act on the Reporting and Use of Specific Financial Transaction Information. 

Digital Asset Framework Act in 2024

As per a previous report from Cryptonary, South Korea plans to bring the Digital Asset Framework Act in 2024 under the leadership of the new government led by Yoon Seok-youl. The government aims to give the green light to Initial coin offerings (ICOs), among other things. The government has prepared an implementation plan called the "National Task Implementation Plan" to enact the Digital Assets Basic Act, and this is the first time that an annual implementation plan has been made public.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
