Bithumb Restricts Deposits/Withdrawals for 3 Firms — Financial Intelligence Unit Requests Website Blocks for 2

  • South Korea's FIU asked regulators to block domestic access to Tether Max's and SuperTrust's websites and apps, citing their status as unregistered virtual asset business operators.
  • The access-block request still requires review by the Korea Communications Standards Commission before any actual block takes effect, and does not mean a legal or criminal determination has been made.
  • Bithumb added Tether Max, SuperTrust, and Isis Ventures (Aegis Ventures) to its deposit/withdrawal restriction list on the 30th; Upbit's unregistered-operator notice also includes all three firms.
