Crypto exchanges in South Korea could close their operations this month

Cryptocurrency exchanges operating in South Korea are expected to submit requests for an official license with the (FSC) before September 24. With the date looming closer, some crypto exchanges are planning to shut down their operations.

According to a report by the Financial Times, at least 40 crypto exchanges in South Korea will be forced to shut down. With 60 crypto exchanges currently available in the country, only 20 of them would be left operational.

The FSC demands that crypto exchanges operating in the country show evidence that they are operating using real-name accounts at South Korean banks. According to the FSC, this is due to the need to provide more protection to customers, especially on smaller cryptocurrency exchanges.

However, South Korean banks have refused to engage in any risk assessment process for cryptocurrency exchanges that have applied to bank with them. The banks have limited their services to only the leading trading platforms in South Korea.

Upbit, Bithumb, Korbit and Coinone, the four leading exchanges in South Korea, are receiving favorable treatment from the banks. These exchanges already account for more than 90% of the trading volume in the country.

Binance and Bitfront already left South Korea

Cryptocurrency exchanges Bitfront and Binance have already discontinued their services in the Asian country. With the current regulation, more cryptocurrency exchanges will leave South Korea over the coming weeks and months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

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.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

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.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

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.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

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.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

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.

How often is content updated?

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.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

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.
