On August 19th, South Korea’s FSC ordered local exchanges to suspend cryptocurrency lending services, highlighting the associated risks and legal uncertainties. Exchanges like Upbit and Bithumb previously faced user position closures due to market volatility.

The FSC will permit repayments and contract extensions for current loans and plans to perform inspections on exchanges that do not adhere to the suspension order.
