South Korea's FSC Tightens Crypto Withdrawal Rules

The South Korea Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced that it will tighten the exception rules in the withdrawal delay systems of crypto exchanges. Most losses related to voice phishing scams originated from fraud-linked accounts granted exceptions. In the new framework developed with the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) and the Digital Asset Exchange Association (DAXA), the FSC is introducing unified standards for criteria to bypass withdrawal delays for exchanges.

South Korea Crypto Withdrawal Exceptions and BTC Connection

Exchanges previously applied their own criteria, allowing malicious actors to quickly withdraw funds with easy conditions like account age or transaction history. In the June-September 2025 period, accounts granted exceptions accounted for 59% of fraud accounts and 75.5% of losses. The new rules mandate factors such as trading frequency, account history, and deposit-withdrawal amounts; according to simulations, the exception rate will drop to 1%. The FSC will monitor users granted exceptions through fund source verification and suspicious withdrawal tracking systems. This step is part of broader reforms that include asset reconciliation every five minutes and crypto license audits, introduced after Bithumb's Bitcoin (BTC) payment error following the BTC detailed analysis.
