According to local financial authorities and industry sources, Upbit will begin user verification starting next month upon receiving the registration certification from the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) under the Financial Services Commission (FSC).
Upbit received the FIU¡¯s approval on Sept. 17, becoming the country¡¯s first cryptocurrency exchange officially registered with the financial authorities, but the FIU has been delaying issuing the official certification to allow the crypto exchange to get ready to meet stricter anti-money laundering requirements.
To minimize user inconvenience, the crypto exchange has decided to grant a week-long grace period for outstanding orders that have not been executed prior to Oct.1. If such orders have not been signed by Oct.7, they will be cancelled the next day.
Won-denominated deposit balance in unverified accounts, which amounts to 100 billion won, will be entirely returned to users under the real-name trading obligation, Upbit said.
Other three major crypto exchanges—Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit—that have filed for registration with the FIU after securing real name account deals with banks are expected to undergo similar customer verification process once they get a green light from the financial authorities.
